The music on this site comes from recordings Peter has, most are of one of his bands of the period.  In the house in Clayton, Peter played with Ellen Christianson and Jane Vidrine, the Harmony Grits.  Their rehearsals at home were part of the constellation that the kids grew up with.  After Jane moved to Louisiana she was "replaced" by Lindell Blackford.  Ellen and Jane were dear friends to the family, and when Peter and Marget moved to La Antigua, Guatemala, it put them close to Ellen and her sister Irene, also a singer and musician.

Marget worked closely with Jane at the Frontier Folk Life Festival held on the grounds of the St. Louis Arch.  All of the family volunteered at the festival.  After the National Park Service cancelled the festival, Marget ran it one more year in another location, with operations happening out of the Lippincott/Shewmaker household.  It was a wonderful last festival.

Jane is famous as one of the Magnolia Sisters, the Cajun Band.  Ellen and Irene had one of their songs "borrowed" from their Bowling Green album and was in the movie Oh, Brother, Where Art Thou?  Peter continues to make music and write tunes. As of late he has been performing in Guatemala, near their home.
