THANKS FOR COMING OUT

Winter...and just like old bears the MFR tends to find a cave or four
and nap till spring. This year, if
something jumps up that looks like
fun we will wake up and play.
Stay tuned and do come see us!




Riverside was really beautiful
Saturday night and although
it was very COLD outside
the MFR had a heck of a warm
reception!

Kelley really got folks in the
mood with this old tune!


So many new faces and nice folks came to
the concert at Riverside tonight.
We did solos and here are three
of them.


Thanks again for coming out!!!








John Denver tune...PP&M recorded it so did the Kingston Trio
and many more folks. As we say..this is a goodern.

fav of ours from
last night....

Thanks for coming out Saturday morning!

Thanks to everyone who came out EARLY Saturday morning for the Alcoa Kiwanis pancake breakfast.

It was SO EARLY, Bobby and Kelley had to check twice to see if they still had on their house shoes!

Unfortunately our videographer was
under the influence of several chemicals (all
legally prescribed) and didn't set the
camera back far enough to get the entire band
in the shot. Just remember the one you can't see
is Kelley and if you will just gaze upon his
picture as the video plays, why it will be
just like he is in the shot!

Thanks again for coming and we hope to
see you again down the road!






Remember to look at his picture
for this song!

Thanks Shannondale

Fun afternoon at Shannondale Maryville.

BOBBY SHOWED UP!!


Good singing audience and a chance
for us to do some of the OLD OLD
tunes.

Thanks for having us!!!

April 15th Dogwood Arts Festival

A big thank you to
Bandit Lights for their
wonderful sound...all the folks
who braved the rain on a Friday
afternoon in downtown Knoxville
and especially Jane Morgan for
asking us to play!

Here are a few of the tunes from today,
some feature a "street" person
who was hell bent to be in the
band. You can't see him but
boy howdy you can can hear him on a few
songs.
















We have a few more that are still
cooking in the U Tube oven...when
they are finished we will post them.
