THANKS FOR COMING OUT

2011-12-11T00:50:00.014-05:00

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.

Here is an old
fav of ours from

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

MUSIC ROW

THIS SATURDAY

Shannondale

2010-09-15T09:24:00.000-04:00

(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!

Moving on!

2010-08-27T15:44:00.000-04:00

Ya know the neat thing about playing a Library before the show there are tons of things to READ!

THANKS for buying all those CDs..we sold out but will
reload by the next time we see you!
Bobby, Walker and Kelley with a new fan!

Several things on the horizon, but most are private.
If YOU would like the trio to play at your gathering
call us

865 970 2373

Or just leave a message in the comment box here.

Two Thirds of the Mountain Folk Reunion Band played
for some folks at the Shannondale Retirement Community

Banjo Bobby had pressing business out of state so
Kelley and Walker faked the show without him.

It was a wonderful experience and we we promised to return
with the full road show (OK the manager of the Dancing Chickens
is still fighting with us over a pay increase so they are iffy)
in the near to distant future!

Here are a few of the songs, please excuse the lack of the
banjo and Andy keeping time. Remember we said we FAKED our
way through it all!

The Mountain Folk Reunion's next stop will be the Ramp Festival
