Highlights
from December 28, 2006 |
| After leading the audience in the "Pledge To The
Flag", Tim delivered a bit of bad news: His
sister Pam and her family lost virtually everything
they had when their home burned to the ground on Christmas
Eve. But thanks to the heroic efforts of Tim, Penny
and the brave firefighters on the scene, the family's
beloved pet pot-bellied pig was safely rescued. We ask that
you please keep Tim, Penny, Pam and her wonderful family in
your prayers. |
| First up tonight was the outstanding group
The Midnight Ramblers, four teenagers from
southwestern Virginia who pick and sing Bluegrass Music as
well as anyone in the business. They spent the entire first
hour of the show treating the audience to a number of
wonderful old classics as well as several fine original
tunes including "The Crooked Road Song", a tribute to
"Virginia's Heritage Music Trail" that follows Highway
58 across the scenic countryside of southwestern Virginia. |
| Scott County, Virginia native
A.J.
Roach was "back home" spending the holiday season
with family and friends, and he graciously took a few
moments to sing a couple of songs for us, including the
ever-popular "Granddaddy", a loving tribute to his
grandfather. |
| It seemed like the great music would never stop flowing
tonight! As always,
Fescue
put on a great show as they performed hit after hit
including "Fox On The Run", "Rawhide", "The
Orange Blossom Special", and the haunting ballad simply
entitled "The Cave". Fescue is known far and wide for
their fine vocals and superb instrumentals, and they used
both to perfection tonight! |
| Mr. Roy Mullins dropped by again tonight to
insert a bit of Christmas cheer into the festivities by
playing "Silent Night" on his harmonica. Roy always
does a good job when he takes the Pickin' Porch
stage, but his performance tonight was simply outstanding. |
| It was great to see long-time Pickin' Porch fans
Fielden and Eula back in the audience tonight.
They have been unable to make it out to the show for the
past 3 months or so, but tonight they were able to come -
and they looked better than ever! Welcome back! |
The action inside the Comfort Systems USA Performance
Center was fast-paced and non-stop tonight with plenty
of great music from start to finish, and next week's show
promises to be just as exciting with the fine young group
4 Fret Kord taking the Pickin' Porch stage. Why
not come on out to the Bristol Mall next Thursday at 7pm and
join us?
