Man Or Deer What would Choose

Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the music video of the Moron Brothers performing the dilemma "Man Or Deer What would Choose"
If given the choice of helping a fellow man or tagging a big buck, what would you do? Burly knows what to do!

The Moron Brothers bring humor and bluegrass to London
BY NITA JOHNSON Staff writer Jul 1, 2016
Banking on their country background, the Moron Brothers artfully blend in humor with their music.
A popular drawing for the annual Optimist Club's "Pickin' for the Kids," the Moron Brothers entertain
the crowd with their own blend of original bluegrass songs intertwined with jokes and stories of their
own history.

Headlining under the aliases of Lardo and Burley Moron, Michael T. Carr and Michael Hammonds
chose the alter egos to avoid confusion of their two names. Clad in overalls and branding their
banjos and fiddles, the duo brings their own background from farming in central and eastern
Kentucky to the stage with lyrics such as "If my nose was running money, honey, I'd blow it all on
you." Another song pays tribute to Merle Travis's performance of "Nine Pound Hammer" on the
Porter Wagoner show when Carr was only 10 years old.
Hammonds hails from Loradale, a small community in Fayette County, and is a retired firefighter
from the Lexington Fire Department. Oddly enough, that job is what launched his career in
entertainment - using his free time to practice the banjo and fiddle. When a friend dropped by one
evening in 1991, the two began playing in front of the fire station. That ballooned into regular jam
sessions that drew large crowds to the area.
It was in 1995 when Carr and his brother attended one of the sessions and thus the Moron Brothers
saw its dawning. Dean Osborne, renowned bluegrass recording and performing artist, was
acquainted with the two men and asked them to perform at a bluegrass festival. Carr notes that
performance as the beginning of their career.
"When we came off stage and went to our seats with our wives to watch Tony Rice, the guy next to
my wife asked her if she saw those two morons that were up there a minute ago, meaning us. That
is when the (Moron Brothers) was born."
The two men credit such country music legends as Flatt & Scruggs, the Osborne Brothers, Doc
Watson, Stonewall Jackson and Hank Williams for their love of bluegrass and old-time country
music, with both having grown up listening to The Grand Ole Opry over radio and later being fans of
the Porter Wagoner show on television.
Carr tributes their background as the reason for their success, stating on his website: "We are both
fortunate to come from strong, hard-working, religious families from the heart of the Bluegrass.....We
feel that there is enough sickness, sadness and grief in the world today and the good Lord means
for people to have good, clean fun and laughter. Maybe that is the job he chose us to do. We hope
so, 'cause it is fun for us also."
