About Us Marti & Jim host the Red Rooster Party (and occasionally the Bluegrass Cafe). Both are from the Piedmont region of North Carolina, but have lived in nine states and visited many countries, most related to Jim's work in the aerospace industry. Marti is a secondary-level science teacher. Both have had a lifelong love of music of many genres. In fact, they met in their university's band and have been married since graduation. Marti occasionally pulls her French horn from its case and plays a bit. Jim set aside his trumpet and flugelhorn years ago and now plays the five-string banjo. Jim considers bluegrass and roots music as his favorite these days. Marti loves Western music, early country, and early black and white gospel. Marti & Jim have a huge collection of jazz, orchestral, western, and folk music to supplement their bluegrass and country collection. Most music on Red Rooster Party comes from their personal collection.
