CHICKEN SONG CRIME-SCENE PHOTOS Sherri's niece Kristin Koval has provided photos of the Reese Homestead - showing the house, barn and outhouse featured in Joe & Sherri's "Make Them Chickens Fly" song, which is based on a true-life incident from Sherri's childhood, when she and a little playmate thought they could teach baby chickens how to fly by tossing them out the loft window.
NOTE: The loft window from where the chickens were launched is half way up the barn (middle photo) on the right.
SHERRI SINGS WITH CHARLIE LOUVIN! On Saturday night, October 7th, 2006, Joe and Sherri were invited down to Stearns, KY, to attend the Coal Miners Jamboree, and to see Charlie Louvin, surviving member of the Louvin Brothers. The Louvins have long been regarded as one of the greatest harmony duos in the history of country music. Before the concert, Joe and Sherri introduced themselves to Charlie and before you know it Mr. Louvin and Sherri were singing harmony together. During his part of the following show he invited Sherri on-stage to join him on the old Carter Family song, "Worried Man Blues". Luckily Joe had his camera in the car and was able to catch 3 photos for the scrapbook. PHOTOS
