Glenn Bolick kicked off the evening's
entertainment with a wonderful show featuring plenty of
comedy, great music and showmanship. Glenn is rightly proud
of his North Carolina mountain heritage, and it comes
through in everything he does while on a stage.
Tonight, he treated the audience to a bevy of timeless old
Appalachian tunes, several gospel numbers and even a few
songs he had written himself! If you have never seen this
highly energetic and extremely talented fellow perform
before, you're really missing out. |
| As in his previous appearance on The Pickin' Porch
Show, Glenn invited his lovely wife Lula and
close friend Charlie Glenn to join him on stage to
help perform a few numbers including the Carter Family
classics "Wildwood Flower" and "Anchored In Love"
as well as the beautiful old hymn "In The Sweet Bye And
Bye". |
| Next up was the ever-popular Old Timer's Band
from Washington County, Tennessee. These fine gentlemen
picked and sang a number of Bluegrass and classic country
songs such as "You Win Again", "Turkey In The
Straw", "Train 45" and several renditions of "The
Chicken Reel" as Tim held a drawing for a couple
of pairs of free concert tickets plus twenty - yes, I said
20! - chicken sandwiches, courtesy of long-time Pickin'
Porch sponsor Chick-fil-A! |
| The dance floor was really hopping tonight with all the
good dance music filling the air, and as usual the youthful
septuagenarian Fred Skeens (right) led the way! Fred
loves to kick up his heels and have a great time wherever
music is being played, and the crowd really loves watching
him do it! |
Everyone who ventured inside the Comfort Systems USA
Performance Center this evening had a great time at The
Pickin' Porch Show. Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, so
there will be no regular show that night. But on Friday, Tim
and the fine folks at the
ACMA will be hosting a
special concert featuring our own
VW Boys
and
The Lost & Found.
So fill up on turkey and all the trimmings while enjoying
some quality time with your family and friends on
Thanksgiving day, then come on out to the Bristol Mall on
Friday, November 24 for plenty of great Bluegrass music,
comedy and magic!
