of
running water, near Blanchard Springs, with a glimpse of elusive
otters. Walking upstream towards the Springs' cave mouth, the Sue's
lilting
flute, mandolin, and Raymond on guitar, and bass play "Jamaica,"
brought back from

Raymond Creasy grew up in the rural Tennessee traditions of folk, bluegrass and country music, becoming Tennessee banjo champ while still a teenager. He expanded his musical horizons while living in Memphis, playing electric guitar and banjo with blues legends, beat bands, and rock and roll groups. At the same time, he was a graphic artist and songwriter.
Silver Hawk, with John Paul Daniel, The
Lick Creek
Band, The Flying J Wranglers, Toad Suck Symphony, are a few of
the groups he's played with in the past. He's toured throughout
the Midwest and West, and became a regular performer at the Cowboy in
Durango, and the Chuckwagon in Ruidoso, and hosted a weekly TV
program in New Mexico, called "the Mountain Musical." Some of these
performance are our favorites
on youtube.
Raymond and Sue became a duo almost 15 years ago. Together, they've recorded 8 CDs, the latest entitled FREE FORM. Raymond starting making flutes about 12 years ago. Previously Raymond had recorded 6 albums of his own compositions. Three of these recordings, done between '78 and '82, were remastered to a CD, "Retrospective." Sue recorded one previous collection of folk music, "Dave & Sue," and played in the Dixie Darlings, Patchwork, and Legacy. A native Kansan who's lived in Arkansas 20 plus years, Sue grew up singing at church and talent shows, playing piano, flute, and guitar, and added mandolin and mountain dulcimer as an adult. Raymond and Sue used to perform at the Ozark Folk Center in Mtn. View and make trips from home in Van Buren County to Nashville to write with friends. Making videos using Sue's G5 MAC has become our newest form of artistic expression together, producing several videos each year, using our music for the backgrounds.
As a sign artist, Raymond's elegant lettering and accurate depictions can be seen throughout northcentral Arkansas. Examples include a mural of downtown Leslie, cherubs, chickens, fish, ducks, at any scale. Much of his oil, acrylic, watercolor and drawing exhibitions have been in Ruidoso, NM, Memphis and Jackson, TN. He has painted in a representational style, depicting the beauty of nature and respect for the people who carved a living from the countryside. He calls his latest style of painting, which are abstracts lines and shapes with amazing color, fusion paintings. A few fine art commissions include a baptistry painting at White Water Church, and El Tres Amigos, wall murals, in Mtn. View and Heber Springs, Arkansas. Raymond's artwork graces the covers of many of our CDs.
