Laurie and Kathy Sing the Songs of Vern and Ray is a 2014 Spruce and Maple Music album (SMM-1012) by Laurie Lewis and Kathy Kallick, a tribute to Vern Williams and Ray Park — Ozarks-born California transplants whose 1960s and 1970s performances defined West Coast traditional bluegrass and served as primary mentors for both artists. Lewis and Kallick co-founded the Good Ol' Persons in 1975 and have cited Williams and Park as foundational influences. The eighteen-song program draws entirely from the Williams–Park repertoire; performers include Tom Rozum (mandolin, vocals), Patrick Sauber (banjo), Sally Van Meter (dobro), Keith Little (banjo, vocals), and Annie Staninec (fiddle). The album functions as both a personal homage and a preservation document for a distinctive California bluegrass tradition.
