Field notes
The opening entry traces the group’s formation to four musicians hired separately for a wedding dance, then stranded together by a tire delay and a long dispute over the radio. The site organizes its account with channel-style section labels, mile markers, and a bill-of-lading panel; its navigation also links to four named record pages.
