'''"Boneyard Brothers"'''
== Basic text formatting ==
You can format the page using Wikitext special characters.
The Boneyard Brothers story begins in backyard of a Martinsburg house, in the Summer of 2002, when Ken Ford and Rich Busch, bored with beer and baseball, picked up a couple of guitars and began to play to entertain themselves. This acoustic-electric guitar band developed through almost weekly open-mic performances in Shepherdstown in the Summer and Fall of 2002, and have continued to play in the Hagerstown, Shepherdstown, and Martinsburg area ever since, with occasional forays into the Metro D.C. area, and Morgantown, WV. Mark Thoomas joined them to form a trio... Rich Busch later moved back to his hometown of Elkins Wv... and Dale Biller had returned from Pittsburgh, where he was playing in a grunge band called "Ultrasound". There they formed an improve rock/jazz group with Chris White on bass called Evolution (Rich Norwood on keys) and began playing sets on mini tours. Over time the two bands began to merge to form one entity. They

The Boneyard Brothers find influence in the events of life as much as in other music. The Boneyard Brother's true motivation is fun, both for the audience, and the band members. Sometimes dead serious, sometimes tongue-in cheek, these guitarists keep the audience guessing which direction they will go to next, all the while keeping the audience entertained. Diverse, entertaining, and original, the Boneyard Brothers are one act that you will not want to miss.

You can ''italicize text'' by putting 2
apostrophes on each side.
3 apostrophes will '''bold the text'''.
5 apostrophes will '''bold''' and ''italicize''
'''''the text'''''.
(Using 4 apostrophes doesn't do anything special -- <br>they are just '''' left over ones'''' that are included as part of the text.)

A single newline
generally has no effect on the layout.
These can be used to separate
sentences within a paragraph.
Some editors find that this aids editing
and improves the ''diff'' function
(used internally to compare
different versions of a page).
But an empty line
starts a new paragraph.
When used in a list, a newline ''does'' affect the layout ([[#lists|see below]]).

''Headings'' organize your writing into
sections. The Wiki software can automatically
generate a [[Help:table of contents|table of contents]] from them.
<div style="font-size:132%;font-weight:bold;">Subsection</div>
Using more "equals" (=) signs creates a subsection.
<div style="font-size:116%;font-weight:bold;">A smaller subsection</div>
Don't skip levels, like from two to four equals signs.
Start with 2 equals signs not 1 because 1 creates H1 tags which should be reserved for page title.
