August 17, 2002 The
founders of the Red Clay Ramblers return to the Down Home in Johnson City,
Tennessee.
Mike Craver, Bill Hicks
and Jim Watson have played this acclaimed music venue since 1976 when they
opened the new club. As the owner Ed Snodderly told the audience
Saturday night, "We went up to a festival and hired Tommy Thompson and
the Red Clay Ramblers. Then we looked at each other and said, 'Now
we have to go build a club for them to play.'" |

Jim, Mike, and Bill
rocked the packed house with Rambler favorites. Mixed into
the sets, each also took turns performing his new, independent work.
Bill delivered an extra treat when he had his wife and singing partner,
Libby, join him for his originals.
Many friends from over the
years were there, including Joe Leach, better known as Tank. Bill
says "Tank had the biggest grin on his face when he popped his head into
the dressing room." Dave Tilley came along to record the show. Keep
your ears open!

Wives are more blase about
sound check than web designers. Hey, Anne :-) |
But Libby Hicks took
these pictures for us the night before the show at the final rehearsal
in Boone, NC.
