Appalachian Opry  .... Special Memories

January 10, 2009

Thanks to all who made the 1st Appalachian Opry a fun success.  Thanks to the house band (Vernon, Kitty, Tammy Powers, Don Bowlen, Chalmers Rowe, and Jeff Causey) special Opry guests (Rhonda Rowe, Jerry & Glen Powers, Laura Ritchie & Dick Wooley, the Blackhoof Creek String Band, and Mary Jo Ward & Friends) and to all of you who braved an icy drive to be a part of this new "live" music event at FOTMC.

*many of these pictures were taken during rehearsal.

 

 

 

Hey, Chalmers, pick that banjo.

 

 

 

 

                                                                          

Local Wapak group, Blackhoof Creek String Band brought us the traditional sounds of dulcimer music.

 

 

Rhonda, we love those country songs.

and Dueling Nostrils.
