BORN: Jan. 24, 1966, Las Vegas, NV PARENTS: Jann und Yoko OCCUPATION: Carpenter MARITAL STATUS: Single, but exploring his options FAVORITE COLOR: Black FAVORITE FOOD: Mush TURN ON: Nice ankles TURN OFF: der Parson FAVORITE TV SHOW: No comment HOBBIES: Praying, Horseshoes Graeber's parents left their casino jobs in 1967 and relocated to Lancaster, PA. Graeber is a self-described "Amish-brat", hopping from Amish community to Amish community throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio until finally settling in Nappanee, IN. when he was 14. After going through his "Mennonite Phase", he settled into the Amish faith. Graeber is a successful farmer, with over 40 acres of land behind his modest ranch cabin in Nappanee. Although he doesn't remember much of it, sources agree that Graeber met Carl and Barry while playing Amazing Grace (on a guitar he carved out of an old barn door) at the Woolton family barn raising - the rest is history **************************************************************** BORN: Mar 21, 1965, Berne, IN PARENTS: Klaus and Astrid OCCUPATION: Carpenter MARITAL STATUS: Single, but happy FAVORITE COLOR: Black FAVORITE FOOD: Mush TURN ON: Black floor-length dress TURN OFF: Electricity FAVORITE TV SHOW: No Comment HOBBIES: Praying, Horseshoes After growing up in Berne, Carl, at the age of 17, hitched a ride on a buggy bound for Nappanee, IN. Two years later, he arrived. Carl experimented with various mind -altering substances over the next couple of years, leading him to a dark period of his life in which he tried transcendentalism, voodoo, and some weird religion where they worshipped a shaved beaver..he would not elaborate. Carl finally cleaned himself up in time to meet Graeber and Barry at the Woolton family barn raising. Graeber, Carl noticed, was "hopped up" on hard cider, but impressed Carl by knowing all the chords to "Amazing Grace" - the rest is history Q: Are you really Amish? A: Yes, why do you think we wear these outrageous beards? Q: Who is the guy on the bike at your live shows? A: That's Yoder. He rides the bike to generate power for our lights and instruments. Q: What do you do when you are not playing your music? A: We work in der fields, pray, listen to the Ozzy Osbo...we pray A LOT, and work der fields. Q: Do you have any pets? A: Yes! Carl has a wobbly dog, Graeber has cats he doesn't like, and well Barry just has the goats. (hilarious...you gotta live round them to get this...they all have at least one lame dog and a dozen mangy feral cats running round the farm at any given time) Q: Now that you have achieved national fame, where do you live? A: On the farm...duh! Q: Carl, does Graeber ever complain when you and Barry smoke on stage? A: Not unless he wants his ass kicked! Q: Has the Parson ever caught you playing the rock & roll music? A: Why, what have you heard??? Poster Comment: see also, the amish laptop. http://www.mystique.net/amish-2.html
