The Mock Family Guitarists were a group of musicians who traveled and performed across the United States, Canada, Mexico, and various European countries in the 1970s. Father Jerry, mother Ruth, and their three children, Julian, Nelson, and Melody played music and made a life together in ways that were quite unconventional.
Jerry and Ruth had spent a lot of time several years ago putting their memories into a book together. After Jerry passed away in December of 2008, Ruth began organizing the family archives -- an extensive collection of letters, music, recordings, articles, books, and magazines pertaining to the family's adventures as well as the other projects on which they embarked. Creative Guitar International was a magazine that they printed and published; The Mock Family Classic Guitar Method was an instructional book written for ages three to adult. The magazine and the book were an integral part of their history and played a big part of how they began performing music with three young children.
There had always been talk of revisiting "The Chronicle." Now the time seems right to get back into it --a project that the whole family is looking forward to working on together.
