| Highlights
from the last Pickin' Porch Show |
| The always-friendly Frank Carmack filled in for
Tim tonight, and as always he did an outstanding job
making sure everyone was having a great time at The
Pickin' Porch Show! |
| A young fellow by the name of Banjo Joe kicked
off the evening's entertainment with some fine clawhammer
banjo work and some pretty darn good vocals to go along with
it on several old favorites including "Rabbit In The Log",
"Bear Tracks" and "High Cotton". Even though
he is just 7 years old, it's quite apparent that this young
man has the potential to go a long way in the music
business! |
| After leaving the audience with their mouths wide open
with amazement, Banjo Joe gave way to his Kinfolks:
mom, dad, grandpa and grandma! And after hearing these
wonderful folks pick and sing a few great tunes like
"East Virginia Blues" and "God Gave Noah The Rainbow
Sign", it was easy to see that Joe comes by his talents
honestly! |
Next up was The Looping Brothers, a fine
Bluegrass group that hails from all the way across the pond
in Germany! For the better part of 90 minutes, this talented
trio treated the audience to a bevy of traditional and
original Bluegrass tunes including "Gotta Do My Time",
"Long Black Veil" and others. They even crooned
"Long Gone Lonesome Blues", complete with some fine
yodeling that would have made old Hank proud!
It's great to know that Bluegrass music has become extremely
popular worldwide and that folks from many other countries
are performing it with the same heart and soul as the
wonderful singers and musicians who live right here where it
all began! |
| Guitar virtuoso Wayne Henderson happened to be in
attendance this evening, and he graciously agreed to join
his friends The Looping Brothers on stage to "pick a few"
with them near the end of their long set. No one knows their
way around a guitar better than Wayne, and he sure did a
fine job showing off his fingerpickin' skills this evening! |
The evening's festivities included several pleasant
surprises, and a wonderful time was had by everyone who made
it out to the Comfort Systems USA Performance Center.
We invite you to join us again next week when Mr. Bluegrass
Kody Norris will take the stage to offer up plenty of
his exceptional brand of traditional Bluegrass music!
