PICTURES I HAVE TAKEN OR HAD TAKEN OF MYSELF AND BLUEGRASS ARTISTS
When I was visiting up in Cheyenne, Wyoming, in 2002 I found this sign post on a street corner. Guess Bluegrass is alive and well up there too. LOL
On March 4, 2006 I was very priveleged to get the chance to see Rhonda Vincent perform live in Argyle, Texas.
She is an awesome entertainer. It is no wonder she has won the IBMA Female Entertainer 7 years in a row.
Rhonda is also a very charming woman and I got the chance to talk to her for just a moment before she had to go on stage and perform. Below is a pic of myself with her.
I finally got to see Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder perform live in Mt. Pleasant, Texas. They put on a very awesome show. Below is a pic of them performing there.
I first met Ricky at the IBMA Convention in Louisiville, KY back in 2001. He is a great entertainer and a very nice person to meet. Here is his picture on my IBMA Trip Page
This is Vern Young from Lamar, Missouri. His band, made up of himself on guitar, Joe Smith on dobro and the very lovely Charlotte Mayall on upright bass. They play at a lot of Bluegrass Festivals around the nation and are very well liked by one and all.
