Carolina Quickstep
Bluegrass Band
Carolina Quickstep in Lakewood, WA
| Carolina Quickstep was a Bluegrass
band that was formed in Washington around 1980. Band
members lived in various areas along I-5, from Ft.
Lewis in the south up to Seattle in the north. We got lots of jobs through Chris Lunn, founder of Victory Music. The most consistent was Friday nights at Mom's Pizza in Lakewood, but the biggest was the 1981 Tumwater Bluegrass Festival. While I was a member, the band consisted of (left to right): Rick Lewis - lead vocals, guitar, and mandolin John LaCross - lead guitar Mike Wright (me) - tenor vocals, mandolin, bass, and occasionally guitar Allan Walton - banjo and baritone vocals Terry Shaw - fiddle and bass The following are a set of songs that we taped in a recording studio around 1981. I had lost track of my cassette version, but when I got back in touch with Terry some years back, he sent me a CD copy of the tape. I ran across the CD recently and was so pleased with the quality that I decided to put it up on my website. Unless otherwise noted, the songs are: Rick - lead vocal and guitar John - lead guitar Mike - mandolin Allan - banjo Terry - bass |
