Highlights
from February 28, 2008 |
| We began tonight's show with our tradition of honoring
the many men and women who are serving or have served our
country by pledging our allegiance to the United States
Flag. Tim had a few announcements to make,
including information about the popular
Ivan Hicks and the Sussex Avenue Fiddlers program
coming to the Bristol Mall tomorrow, February 29, 2008 at
7:00pm. |
| The first group up were Dan Moneyhun and Old Friends.
Dan Moneyhun is from Mt. Carmel, TN and plays guitar. Dan
can also be seen with
Paul Williams and the Victory Trio. You can catch
their great show March 29, 2008 at the
Southern Ohio Indoor Bluegrass Festival in Wilmington,
Ohio. Dan's daughter Danielle Moneyhun joined the
guys in a number called "Heaven" on which she played
the fiddle and sang harmony. |
Dan's "Old Friends" actually consists of a group
of renowned local musicians. Carroll Hurd played
guitar and hails from Hancock County, Tennessee. Tom
Bullen, from Greenville, Tennessee played mandolin and
fiddle. Mark Marshall on banjo and Frankie Elliott
on bass are both members of
Highway 11. If you missed tonight's wonderful show
you can catch Highway 11 at Sycamore Shoals on March
29, 2008 or Cranberry Thistle in Jonesboro, Tennessee on
April 26, 2008.
If you're interested in the music of Highway11, go to

Different Worlds". Dan and his Old Friends have a brand
new release entitled "Just for the Record". If you'd

| Our second group of the evening was
Fall Creek Band which is headed up by Savannah
Vaughn. Savannah is just 14 years old, but she is
already an accomplished musician and vocalist. If you have
not had the pleasure of hearing this young lady in person
you're really missing out on something wonderful! |
Audie Ratliff from Church Hill, Tennessee stars
on the mandolin in this band. Audie not only plays the
mandolin effortlessly, but he also makes them! Check out his
fine craftsmanship at

Audie also plays mandolin for the fabulous band
Tennessee Skyline. They are scheduled to perform at
the
Carter Family Fold on March 1, 2008. Janice McCombs
plays bass for Fall Creek, and she also plays on
James Alan Shelton's latest project. On guitar is
Ronald Vaughn, Savannah's dad. Ron and Savannah reside
in Blountville, Tennessee. You can hear Fall Creek at the
Renaissance Center in Kingsport, Tennessee on March 13,
