I don't know but the brothers went to my high school so that is my high school's claim to fame. Besides me of course!
Waaaaaaay before me of course. From everything I have heard about them, they were hoodlums as teenagers. They were originally from Ky and moved to Knoxville TN and went to West High School and from what I remember it was because that is where their father found work at the time Knoxville was a major country music hub back then with lots of people getting their start here like locals Chet Atkins, Roy Acuff and of course Dolly Parton just to name a few. I think it was Chet Atkins that discovered the brothers.
