For the record, Elliot is now back from the Renaissance Festival in Apache Junction just East of Phoenix, his annual winter retreat these past thirteen or so years. Just in time to organize a few more sightings of De Elliot Brothers Jug Band. One such sighting will be at the Swamp Sisters next weekend, May 2 at 10 a.m.
The Swamp Sisters Café & Gift Shop officially opens on Friday May 1st this year. There is no connection between this date and the historic May Day Parades in Moscow from 1917 till the Berlin Wall fell in October 1990. The restaurant, located on 7249 Industrial Road (known by many as Highway 7) 4 miles West of Twig, will again serve breakfast and lunch from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays through October.
A special feature of the menu is Bonnie’s Swamp Skillet with buffalo sausage or ham, onions, peppers, mushrooms, tater tots, eggs and cheese. The lunch fare is equally exciting. It’s home cookin’ at its finest, seasoned with warmth and a sense of humor. In fact, even if you don't get the ham, Toot will probably ham it up a little as seen in this photo here.

In addition to making music, Elliot is an artist who specializes in those five minute caricatures you often see at carnivals and such. He's got a keen eye, good instincts, fluid fingers and that artist's sensibility that enables him to capture the moment, and the person. Our connection to Elliot was originally through his music, in particular the Annual Battle of the Jug Bands which he assembles each year at the Amazing Grace Bakery on Memorial Day Weekend. Jug bands from all over show up for this event, as well as a mass of music enthusiasts. It's doggone fun, and this year I might even get to be a part of it with my harmonicas, wash board, big smile and miscellaneous percussion tools.
For sure next weekend I'll be part of it at the Swamp Sisters as we make a little house warming jug band music to inaugurate their new season. The dining area will probably be too jammed for us to jam in there, so we'll be in the gift shop which features bison meat, antiques, crafts and, for one time only, live music. Be sure to buy something and tell 'em Ennyman sent you.
For more info on De Elliot Brothers jug band music or to hire an artist for special occasions, visit soon. This is an unpaid, non-political announcement.
