The Rising Stars File and Drum set was another highlight of HCP as Sharde “fifemastor” Thomas and Chris Mallory encouraged audience participation on several songs. And if you want to know if Granny’s dog bites, Sharde will tell you what her Granny told her: “Well, he does have teeth.”

This song pays homage to everyone who did it in the past all the way back to 1926!
Its our job as the young generation of musicians/producers to break down the genre barriers and evolve music to help kids understand and love this music that is disappearing.
The original song currently sits preserved in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress.
Streaming this Friday on all streaming platforms
