Hello Stranger (Dale Jett, Teresa Jett, and Oscar Harris).  Dale said, "Watson ... Newberry ... Hicks ... Craver .... it's easier to just say the Ramblers."

 Jim's CDs sales pitch: "If you don't buy stuff, the terrorists win."  Help out the cause and buy some music.

Loved the view at
Mountain Empire Community College
 Rich Kirby's intro Friday night: The Red Clay Ramblers were the "Elvis Presley of old time." When he and Tommy Bledsoe started playing old time music back in the 70s, they played Red Clay Ramblers recordings note for note for the first year.

(Historical note: When Bill retired from the Red Clay Ramblers in 1981, he recorded an LP "Hits from Home" with Kirby and Bledsoe. In case you missed it above, a pic from back then.)
