You guys did us all a lot of good last night. We thoroughly enjoyed you. Your show is polished and well paced. It has a much broader appeal than the name would imply. You certainly live up to all the nice reviews I've read. Please contact us when next you are coming our way.

You guys were great! You were a total surprise to me.
I had read all about you- But I really had no idea until I saw you!

I have been playing your CDs over and over in my pickup everytime I go somewhere and it seems that each time through I hear something I missed before. Your comic timing is a lot of what makes it work so well. I hear that over and over in your back and forth in your work. I'm thoroughly enjoying that stuff and I like your harmony too!

That's what it's all about!!

"You guys are wonderful! I'm totally captivated by Judy's voice. In fact you gave me goosebumps. I'm struck by the energy and intelligence in your material. And can't help but wonder why everyone across the country has not heard of the McKinney Washtub Two."

I'm impressed with your music, and so are some of my listeners! Per your permission, I'll play a tune or two from them on the weekly Shady Grove Web Radio shows. Did you hear the two songs I lifted from your Web site? They're gems!"

This is no ordinary band...this duo does songs known to all of us...with a twist. The show included a lot of audience participation on many songs & lots of laughs. At one point I was laughing so hard I was crying!! If you ever get the chance to see this duo-I highly recommend it.

Speaking of good health, we all know about the benefits of great
music and laughter....We had the good fortune to see a live show that just
knocked us out: The McKinney Washtub Two. Whitt and Judy
McKinney to be more precise...a show just jam packed with groaner
punch lines, great musicianship, knee-slapping funny lyrics, political
satire, etc. The more we listened, the more we laughed and the more
we were impressed. It was truly a magical music experience....

"I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed your CD. It is so much fun...I have added it to my folk/bluegrass mp3 rotation, which gets me through many a dull Monday morning.
This is great stuff you've got here. I'd love to hear more."

"I had my doubts as to whether or not it'd be to my tastes, but it's really great!...I wasn't expecting such a humorous approach to the whole thing. Whitt's intro's are bloody hilarious (yours are too!) It's classic stuff! Thanks again!

And a long delayed "thank you" to Cynthia Defore who patiently took publicity pictures of us into the wee hours of the morning. Thanks Cyndi!
