Jim and Kathy Lane get silly with the Kazoos for It's Branson Tonight!
Jim and Kathy Lane
“Cousins” Jim and Kathy Lane live in Kansas City, Kansas. They have been married for 22 years, and have one daughter. They play and sing mainly at their church. They have released one album of Kathy’s songs, several of which have been heard on It’s Branson Tonight. They hope to release another one soon.
Jim Lane grew up in a large, musical family (16 children). He had no formal training in music, but he learned to play guitar by watching and listening when his father’s uncle came over to play bluegrass music, and when his sister invited the local hootenanny crowd to sing folk music. He would like to spend his life playing and singing harmony. He also plays a mean kazoo.
Kathy (Keller) Lane took piano lessons growing up, and was one of those rare kids who actually practiced. She went to KU and got her degree in music, and has been writing songs for almost 30 years now. Though she doesn’t think of herself as a “real” singer, she learned enough from singing in choirs to get by, and can at least do her own material.
