The Carters are now three generations deep in puppeteering. Some 30 years ago, Stephen (left) and Chris began putting on shows. Their son, and now their son's son have grown up puppeteering, "its just family business" as Stephen pointed out. This picture has them warming up before the show for their Italian gypsy folk accompaniments. The accordion, of course, was a serendipitous find at a thrift shop. And just like good gypsies, the Carters are self-taught musicians, and good ones at that.
