David Holt and Josh Goforth have played music together for about 16 years .. think that is what I heard. David knew some of Josh's relatives and has passed along that history and love of music those relatives had to Josh. So, Josh said ..''it has come full circle .. learning about relatives who were here before me.'' Josh is acoustic .. David is mostly, but did see him plug something in at one point.
