Highlights
from April 3, 2008 |
| Chris Hunter did an outstanding job as guest host
again this evening. As always, he kicked things off by
leading the audience in the "Pledge To The Flag". |
The Moron Brothers took the stage first and
entertained the crowd with a slew of original tunes: "The
Rooster Song" and "The Story Of A Song" to name
just a couple.
They also sang "I've Been Everywhere", a #1 country
hit for
Hank Snow and picked "Duelin' Banjos", the
catchy instrumental made popular in the film
"Deliverance". Mike Carr and Mike Hammond
aka The Moron Brothers are from Kentucky. Carr (Lardo)
plays the banjo and harmonica while Hammond (Burley) plays
the guitar. Visit
www.themoronbrothers.com to learn more about these guys
and how to order CD's and DVDs. |
Robby
Spencer and
Teddy
Helton played a few numbers while The Moron Brothers
took a well-deserved break. Robby is a very talented
musician who plays several different instruments, but he is
best known for his "Grandpa Jones" frailing style of banjo
pickin'.
Teddy Helton also knows his way around several instruments,
but you'll usually see him pickin' his dog-house bass. They
picked some unusual tunes for a Bluegrass show - and the
crowd loved it! "Listen To The Mockingbird" and
"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" are just a sample. You can
learn more about Robby Spencer by visiting his
MySpace page. |
| Roy Mullins stopped by to play a few tunes on his
harmonica for us. We always enjoy it whenever Roy takes "the
porch" by storm! |
| Chris Hunter obviously admired the tune Roy was
playing... |
| The Moron Brothers came back on stage for a second set.
They picked some more of their original songs like "If My
Nose Was Running Money (I'd Blow it All on You)" and
"Sticky Situation". Teddy and Robby joined them on the
wonderful tune "Cannonball Rag". |
Well, that brings us to the end of another fun evening
at the Pickin' Porch. Stop by next week when
Acoustic Heritage and Banjo Joe & Kinfolk
provide another two hours of wonderful family entertainment.
P.S. The Pickin' Porch gang would like to say a big "Howdy!"
to Joan & Marvin Diver of Palatka, Florida!
