Charlotte Swanson & Charley Smith Duet Recent News
Charlotte and Charley recorded "Save The Gateway". This song was written by Charlotte with arrangement help by Charley. The idea for the song came because of a group of citizens in Front Royal VA fought to keep a beautiful parcel of land free of developement. You will be able to hear it at this website:saveourgateway.com The duet played at a private event on June 8, 2006 and was so excited when the great fiddler Bobby Hicks joined them on stage for a couple of songs.
For the last few years, they performed for the Winchester Medical Center Auxilliary Follies and in 2008 performed for the Volunteer Luncheon and Award Ceremony for the WMC volunteers.
