The Kransky Sisters - Three Bags Full


I never got round to telling you what they were like.  Sock Monkey liked them v. much. 

A new sister has joined them.  According to their website:

"Due to the mysterious disappearance of tuba playing Arva Kransky, who was last seen exchanging sheet music with a member of the Hornbell Military Marching Band, the Kransky Sisters have enlisted the assistance of their rarely visited, reclusive sister, Dawn Kransky, who has taken leave of her job as a trolley librarian as the Esk Hospital to be with her sisters.

"Both Dawn and Arva Kransky studied the Tuba at Tafe Toowoomba.  On her return Dawn moved into a neighbour's laundry after discovering that her three sisters had commandeered the house.  Dawn has rarely performed before an audience aside from the early years when her sisters would play together as children at the Esk fairs while their mother sold among other things tasty fudge."

I would have liked to have seen them perform 'Overload' live, even if they don't know the ending of the song and it just stops abruptly.  Dawn tripped of the cable and unplugged the wireless so they never heard the end of the song. Even though they didn't play it they were most amusing anyway and I would definitely see them again. And their tambourine playing is second to none!  I got their autographs and Andrew partook of one of their tea towels from their tea towel signing session after the show.

Here they are singing Pretty Woman

Sister Dawn, 'new' has been performing on the Kransky stage for a couple of years now. She's a bloody good tuba player. Cheers.
