| Welcome to this week's Pickin' Porch Show. Tim
lead the audience in the "Pledge To The Flag", and
then he got right down to the business of music! |
Tonight's band was
The VW Boys.
These guys are three of the nicest men you'll ever meet and
they sure enjoy pickin' and singin' Bluegrass music. Tim
White, from Blountville, Tennessee, plays the banjo for
the group. He is also host of the
Song of the Mountains concert series seen on numerous
PBS
stations throughout the US.
Larry McPeak, a Wytheville, Virginia native, plays
bass for the band. Larry started playing music at an early
age and still plays in a band with his brothers. Larry loves
to write songs, and he has penned a number of hits for
himself as well as for some of Bluegrass and Country Music's
most famous acts.
Dave Vaught of Bristol, Tennessee is the guitar
player in the group. Dave is a talented musician who even
does a magic trick or two during their Bluegrass shows. He
also owns Top Hat Magic Supply on 6th street in
beautiful downtown Bristol, Tennessee. Visit
TopHatMagicSupply.com for more information. |
| The VW Boys asked special guest and good friend Mac
Puckett to join them onstage this evening. Mac has about
the best Bluegrass voice in the region, and the crowd always
enjoys it whenever he is in Bristol. Mac's Good Company
Band is a great group of guys who work shows and
festivals all over the land. Visit
www.goodcompanyband.com and check 'em out! |
"The Boys" played several original numbers like
"Mayberry", "Big Fat Earl" and "The Ballad of
Ralph" as well as several Bluegrass standards including
"Little Ole Log Cabin In The Lane" and "Salty Dog
Blues".
We also had two young ladies by the names of Amber
and Ida take the stage. They sang beautiful a capella
renditions of "Dust On The Bible" and "How Far Is
Heaven". |
Well folks, that's all for this week's Pickin' Porch
Show. Thanks to all the volunteers and sponsors who make
this show happen every Thursday evening. Next week
Kody Norris & the Watauga Mountain Boys will be the
featured entertainers so come on down and join in the fun!
