We be pickUN at the ROW.

EIGHT PM THIS SATURDAY
(we will be there an hour early
in one of the smaller practice rooms and you are
SO invited to drop in before the show and say HOWDY)

Music Row in Murvel is a place we have used for

Shannondale

(To See ALL of EACH video please double CLICK for the full screen)






The first time the band played a show for the great folks at Shannondale our
famous banjo/12 string guitar/ high tenor ... Bobby Wilson couldn't make it.

Last night (Sept. 14th) we played it again and again...Bobby had to work. We are getting an invite back because we swore on two stacks of AARP Magazines that first there really is a BOBBY and second if we were invited back he would be there!

Without Banjo Bobby.. Kelley and I ran through the dark with scissors, making up things as we went along and when the hour was finished we managed to fake our way through the wonderful event.








We lucked out in one aspect because we had invited a great local singer to join us for a couple of songs and she actually said yes! Cathy Crawford and Walker are involved in a play that will be in the Clayton Arts Center the last week of October. She will be singing some Patsy Cline tunes to warm up the audience and last night she performed two of them. Her video on the blog is a must visit for two reasons.
First...she has a great voice
Second . Her small grandson joined her on stage ( I was told later by those who have children they do things like that) and it is fun
to see how much this T tiny little boy put the fear of God into Walker!

Great time was had by all at Stonewalls Bar b Q!

It was SO HOT...they let us move the show inside bless their
hearts!

outsourced the job to some really nice folks in India!
