Doofus is indeed a strange name for a band! It usually refers to somebody whose elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top, though it stops short of being an insult when used in a regular and conscientious program of good natured badinage between and among good friends.  So while it might mean “village idiot” to some, it’s really a token of our affection for each other and the music we make together! We are a lively old time band consisting of two couples: Neal & Coleen Walters and John & Heidi Cerrigione. Together we sing and play guitar, autoharp, mountain and hammered dulcimer, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and acoustic bass.
