Frank Carmack opened tonight's program by leading the
audience in the "Pledge To The Flag". He reminded
everyone of the upcoming
Song of the Mountains show at the Lincoln Theatre in
Marion, Saturday, November 15, and the Gospel Festival at
the
Carter Fold, Sunday, November 16.
On a sad note, Chris Hunter, who MC's the Pickin
Porch, lost his mother Wednesday. Our thoughts and prayers
are with Chris and his family. His mother, Anna Lee Ramey
Shupe, loved Bluegrass music and Chris brought her to
the show every Thursday until her health took its toll.
