from April 5, 2007 |
In keeping with Pickin' Porch tradition, Tim
kicked off tonight's show by leading the audience in the
"Pledge to the Flag" and announcing that we will unveil
the William "Billy" Sage exhibit next Thursday night at the
Pickin Porch.
Tommy
Freeman and Tennessee Skyline will provide the
music.
He also reminded folks about the
Larry
Sparks concert for
Song Of The Mountains this Saturday night at the Lincoln
Theatre in Marion, VA. He also mentioned the fundraiser for
Tater Tate at the Pickin Porch on Sunday, April 15th from
3:00 till 5:30 pm. The music will be provided by members of
Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys Reunion. |
| The ever-popular
Lightnin' Charlie got the musical entertainment
underway by pickin' and singin' a number "Lightnin'"
favorites. Charlie is one of the most accomplished and
entertaining performers you will ever see, and if you have
never had the opportunity to see him performs live you're
really missing out on a special treat! |
| Next up was
"Cute Little Mac Puckett", another Pickin' Porch
favorite. With Tim and Matthew Cruby pickin' along,
Mac had the audience clapping and laughing all through his
short, but entertaining set! |
| Jim Gates took the stage next and sang a couple
of wonderful classic country tunes for the appreciative
crowd. |
| Rounding out the evening was one of the region's finest
Bluegrass bands: Appalachian Trail. When it comes to
razor sharp instrumental work and flawless vocals, no one
does it better than these fine singers and musicians! The
audience showed their appreciation for tonight's performance
with virtually no-stop applause. |
It was another great evening at The Pickin' Porch
Show, and next week promises to be just as much fun when
Tommy
Freeman & Skyline provides the music for a special
show featuring the unveiling of the
Mountain Music Museum's new William "Billy" Sage
exhibit. We invite you to come on out and join us!
