| Highlights
from May 10, 2007 |
| Tim kicked off tonight's show as usual by leading
the audience in the "Pledge to the Flag". Then, after
proving to everyone that he can count all the way up to
four, he invited us all to attend a special edition of
The Pickin' Porch Show next Thursday at which he will be
hosting a release party for his new CD entitled "Tim
White with Banjo & Friends"! |
The super-talented Skinner Family was back on the
Pickin' Porch stage for the second week in a row, and
as always they treated the appreciative audience to a bevy
of great old Bluegrass standards including "John Henry"
and "Nine Pound Hammer". They also took the time to
honor The Carter Family with a very entertaining
rendition of the timeless classic "Wildwood Flower".
Jason also introduced us to the newest member of the
band: Alexandra Miller, who now plays standup bass
for the group. Welcome, Alexandra! |
| Young Alyssa Skinner has the Pickin' Porch
audience wrapped around her little finger as evidenced by
the way they applaud every time she takes a Dobro break! On
the rare occasions when she sits out a song or two, she
takes a seat on her stool and looks up at the rest of her
family as they pick and sing - and everyone in the audience
looks at her and smiles. |
| Now I have an apology to make. Up until tonight I have
been spelling Zayn Skinner's name incorrectly. I'm
very sorry about that Zayn! And by the way, that was quite a
job you did pickin' "Rawhide" tonight! |
| Mr. Roy Mullins returned to the stage again this
evening to give a beautiful performance of the old favorite
"Carolina Moon". Roy always puts his heart into every
performance, and The Pickin' Porch Show just wouldn't
be the same without him! |
| Much to everyone's delight, banjo picker extraordinaire
Robby Spencer was back tonight after a long absence
from the Pickin' Porch stage. The better part of the
second half of the show belonged to him, and he was in top
form as he picked and sang many of the songs that he is so
famous for. Robby is a great guy and a fine entertainer, and
it was good to see him back on stage entertaining an
audience! |
|
Teddy
Helton took a bit of ribbing from Tim over his
recent mini-tour at Dollywood with his wonderful Celtic band
Fire In The Kitchen. Teddy and "his women" had their
picture taken with Dolly Parton, and of course Tim had to milk it
for all the laughs it was worth! (Click
here to see the "Picture of the Day" featuring
the "Dolly" photo.) |
| The Comfort Systems USA Performance Center came
alive with the sounds of twin banjos when Robby and Tim
stepped up to the microphone and performed a rousing medley
of barn-burning banjo tunes. These guys are two of the
finest banjo pickers in the country, and they sure do sound
great together! |
| At the end of the show, I was lucky enough to get a
picture of two of the prettiest smiles in the Pickin'
Porch audience! We'll see you gals next week! |
Well, it was yet another very busy and entertaining
evening at The Pickin' Porch Show, and next week's
show is sure to be just as much fun when the highly-popular
VW Boys
take the stage. Tim will also be hosting a release party for
his new CD, so why not come on out to the Bristol Mall
and join in the fun?
