This is a photo from the 1974 Clarksville High School yearbook. The photo was taken April 27, 1974. Milk and Honey played for the Jr./Sr. prom in both 1974 and 1975. I personally did not attend either, but wanted to share this old photo. There will be others I attended school with that remember this event. Congratulations on 50 years !!

This is a picture of Ally Bagenstos on her very first performance in Dysarthria. She was 12 years old and a student of Lis March. Since that performance she has frequented the stage with Milk and Honey. She now performs during their breaks and sometimes fills in when someone is gone. Milk and Honey is really good about involving the audience in their music. Sometimes the best moments are when they invite others to perform. The band members are great musicians and work so much with Ally. We feel so blessed to have them in our lives. Happy 50th Milk and Honey.
