George attended South Plains College in Levelland, better known as
"Bluegrass U" and played guitar and bass with school ensembles and
many different Bluegrass and Country groups. He is a remarkable bluegrass
rhythm guitarist, or as Alan Munde once said, "George plays a really fine guitar".
He has played all around West Texas, Eastern New Mexico
and Western Oklahoma.

Gale grew up in a musical family and displayed most of her musical
abilities in churches in the tri-state area as well as family and
community events. She sings lead or harmony in a high clear voice.
She is an ample mandolin player as well as some fiddle, a little bit
of guitar, and the up-right bass.

Together the Rotan's have played in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma,
at a variety of places such as restaurants, community events,
Bluegrass Festivals, jams, musicals, churches, school functions,
memorials, benefits, fundraisers, birthday parties, grand openings,
and family reunions just to name a few.
