| Track Title |
Listen (mp3) |
1. Come Back to God...written by Whitt's
friend George Arntz, 1969. We hope George
hears this! |
 |
2. Great Big Stupid World ...Christian rocker
and producer Randy Stonehill wrote this
wonderful synopsis. Be part of the solution! |
|
| 3. God Bless The Grass Malvina Reynolds was a songwriter who put important ideas simply. |
|
| 4. The Garden Song Dave Mallet came up with the original classic we all love to sing, Eric Kilburn devised a satirical parody; then Whitt blended them, adding a twist. |
|
5. Ps. 34-Ate (W. McKinney, 1993)
Go ahead...look it up! |
 |
6. The Preacher and The Bear
Joe Arzona(sic) copyrighted this in 1904,
Phil Harris toned it down & tuned it up in
the forties, theThe New Christy Minstrels had
some fun with it in the early sixties; now along
comes Whitt with a new last "chorus." |
|
7. If You're So Smart, Why Are You Rich?
Whitt's 1974 backswing on a question the world
likes to ask. |
 |
8. Do You Love An Apple? ...Hmmm...Where
have we heard this question before? Whitt &
Judy have had their way with this traditional
Irish tune. |
 |
9. This Ol' House Remember Stuart Hamlen?
This is our favorite song of his. |
|
| 10. I Know a Man (W. McKinney, 1973) |
 |
11. Beam Me Up, Lord (W. McKinney, 2002.)
"Make it so, Number one!" |
 |
12. Walkin' Dove The incident in the song
happened in Maryland, then the song arrived
while we were living in an attic apartment in
Detroit. (W.McKinney, 1993.) |
 |
13. He's Coming Soon (W. McKinney, 1973.)
He didn't come that year; but we're still
expecting Him any day! |

Our heartfelt THANKS for performing your special "washtub" music...I can still hear "Turn Your Radio On," and many other beautiful songs. Judy, your finger snapping, and all the instruments you played, let us enjoy your many skills. I was reminded of the movie,"A Prairie Home Companion" and the skills demonstrated to make the old radio programs.
You both have beautiful and perfect voices singing together, and Whitt, your guitar and kazoo playing were great! You both gave a big group of old folks an uplifting, encouraging and happy time together! We had much audience response and evident satisfaction and pleasure during your presentation. We try to find excellent entertainment each month, and you were great! You are loved and appreciate! Hopefully...we can have you come again.
I gratefully thank you again for your WONDERFUL presentation!
I would recommend you to anyone anytime!

Whitt and Judy McKinney will be a delight for any opportunity you have for them to perform.
Their cerebral humor is good for the soul, and they will challenge your audience with all things inspirational. I would recommend them for your entertainment plans, that is if you want humor hitting you at blazing speed. Be sharp on the night they come your way, and you will enjoy many laughs, which is always good for the soul.

In Proverbs it says "a merry heart doeth good like a medicine."
The Washtub Two (Whitt and Judy) have a ministry for that.
It was wonderful to watch the expressions on people's faces as they performed in our concert. Whitt and Judy have my recommendation for perfoming at any event.

Judy and Whitt brought a fun and uplifting program of music and festivity to the 2001
Chrismas Banquet for our church.
Having heard them at a local Christian Coffee House, we contacted them to share their good humor and down-home music to our congregation. Their music and their repartee was a hit with everyone-especially the chicken song! Their well-paced humor was timed just right, and their regional and southwest ballads were just what we had ordered.
Judy and Whitt were easy to work with, and brought a level of professionalism to our contacts.
I highly recommend them.
