from February 22, 2007 |
The evening's festivities got underway with Tim
leading the audience in the "Pledge To The Flag",
followed by a quick reminder about the upcoming Leon
Kiser Memorial Tribute Show and Song Of The Mountains.
Tim also explained that the "bucket money" that is collected
each week goes towards paying the light bill for the
Comfort Systems USA Performance Center with the balance
helping fund the cost of keeping the
Mountain Music Museum in operation at no cost to the
public. |
| Bill Sherrill of
Mr.
Bill and Bodie fame kicked off an evening of non-stop
entertainment by putting on a delightful magic show with the
help of four young volunteers from the audience - one of
which ended up losing his underwear as part of the "act"! |
| After Mr. Bill's magic had wowed everyone in the
auditorium, the kids made way for Bodie, a seven year
old piano-playing Havanese who stole the show right out from
under his two-legged partner! Bill and Bodie make a great
team, and they do great work visiting schools in order to
help kids eliminate bullying. |
| Next up was Addie Keen and Friends, a fine group
of singers and musicians who treated the audience to two
sets of Classic Country music with a distinctive Bluegrass
sound. Addie and the guys brought back plenty of great
memories as they performed songs made famous by a number of
Traditional and Country singers including The Carter
Family, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash,
Loretta Lynn, Kitty Wells and others. |
| Addie's outstanding performances of all those great
classic country hits gave the Pickin' Porch
Dancers plenty of opportunities to get out on the dance
floor, and they did just that on several occasions! |
| Next, the always hilarious Ed Carter took the
stage to deliver a couple of jokes that quickly had the
audience laughing out loud. In fact, they started laughing
before the jokes even began because he decided to show Tim
his "ape" imitation. |
| Mr. Roy Mullins was back again this week to play
"Corina, Corina" on his trusty harmonica. Roy doesn't
hear all that well so Tim sometimes has a difficult time
getting him up on the stage, but once he's there he plays
his heart out. Thanks a lot, Roy! We really appreciate your
dedication to the Pickin' Porch Show! |
| Tommy Shortt also returned to the Pickin'
Porch stage to pick and sing a couple of very pretty
songs as a follow-up to his previous performance from a few
months back. It's easy to see that Tommy loves to perform,
and as before he was a big hit with the crowd. |
The action was non-stop at the Pickin' Porch
tonight as a steady stream of great music and comedy
emanated from the busy stage. Next week Daryl Webb
comes to town, and his shows are always simply
outstanding. But don't take my word for it - come on out to
the Bristol Mall next Thursday evening at 7:00 and
see for yourself what all the excitement is about!
