They have been playing together since 1966.

Both moved to western North Carolina about ten years ago to be able to play together more often than they had been.

Inspired by Memphis Minnie, Mississippi John Hurt, Hacksaw Harney and others, especially pianist Walter Davis.

Firk produced a record on Adelphi in the 1960s, and then his second album was a duet album with Delta X.
