The all-around sound of the Cowsill family will share the spotlight with the sweet and sassy sounds of the Doodletown Pipers on Sunday and Monday evenings.

Back in Lincoln asre the Cowsills, a group which began its career for family amusement.
Four of the Cowsill boys began fiddling aroudn with rock sounds and pretty soon asked mother Barbara to join in cutting a record of "The Rain, The Park, and Other Things" which became their first big hit.
Their first success was followed by "We Can Fly" which meant the addition of young Susan Cowsill. "Indian Lake" then became the million-seller followed by "Hair." Their albums have also been booming successes.
In addition to their appearances on TV - Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Hollywood Palace and Dean Martin - they have played an engagement at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas and received an invitation to appear at the San Remo Festival in Italy.
