Yes, you read that right, 2010 won't be very old when the Appomattox High School Athletic Boosters Club will present IIIrd Tyme Out at the Appomattox High School Auditorium beginning at 2:00PM. This year the Appomattox Bluegrass Series has been reduced to only 4 concerts, but my oh my these are some of the very best in the business. On January 24th Dailey & Vincent will make their 3rd appearance. These fellows have done no less than soar through the top of the Bluegrass realm. The series takes a break through the month of February and then brings the inimitable Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver in on Sunday, March 7th. It will be interesting to see Doyle's 2010 "crop." Then just two short weeks later the queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage will make their annual appearance. All shows start at 2PM with the doors usually opening by 1PM. Tickets are $15 per show whether purchased in advance or the day of the show. I want to warn you that these shows almost always sell out each year, so you best go ahead and order your tickets now. By the way, they make great Christmas gifts for you fellow Bluegrass friends and family. For advance tickets call Kelly Smith at 434-248-6105 or email her at kellyandallen@yahoo.com. You can arrange to have tickets held at the door, so that you are sure to get a seat. I'll be reminding you again about these great concerts, but wanted to give you this early heads up so you won't miss a single one. So, don't forget Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out on Sunday January 3rd at 2PM. I'll see you there!
While we're thinking about Bluegrass in the area surrounding Appomattox, Lynchburg area, I have been advised that the James River Bluegrass Association has a brand new web site. The web address is: www.jamesriverbluegrassassociation.com. That's a really long web address so make sure you add it to your favorites so you can check out what is happening with this great Bluegrass club. By the way, the web site has Crawdaddy Dave as the webmaster, so you know it will be a quality site. If you have information you would like to share with the club simply drop in on the site and click the "contact" link and email them your information.
I also wanted to tell you I just arrived back home from a wonderful weekend celebrating the 60th birthday of Jack Woodall. The event was held at Peggy Woodall's, now deceased, parents house. All of the furniture had been removed from this old two story farm house and it was kept cozy warm by two old "oil circulators." How many of you remember this type of heat? At one time there were probably 75 folks crammed into this old house and the Bluegrass music was rattling the walls. Thanks to Jack & Peggy for a really fine weekend of Bluegrass, eating and simply good old fashioned fun with friends
"NUFF SAID!"
