As of Feb. 11, we've been married (to each other!) for 25 years, and as of April, we'll have been performing together for 35 years! All of our upcoming concerts through the spring will be a celebration of love songs and more, along with sweet (and funny) stories of how we met, and how we've survived touring together for all these years! The actual date that we met each other and started playing music together is lost in the mists of time, but we know it was the spring of 1977 !! .....Curtis & Loretta
