BLUEGRASS BULLETINBULLETIN Volume 29 No 3 May 2007 Central Texas Bluegrass Association BLUEGRASSBLUEGRASS BULLETINBULLETIN Volume 29 No 3 May 2007 Attention!!! Camp Bluegrass is Coming JULY 22—27 2007 Hey members!! Each year in the past the Central Texas Bluegrass Association has sponsored a per- son from our member nominees, who meets the qualifications set forth when the program started, to attend Camp Bluegrass . If you have a nominee that you think would qualify, please submit his or her name to the board. This person should be an upstanding individual who is dedicated to learning and promoting Bluegrass Music now and in the future. They should also be someone who might not otherwise have the privilege of going and attending the Camp were it not for this program. Camp Bluegrass is a one week residential picking camp for bluegrass musicians. It is held each July at South Plains College in Levelland, Texas located 30 miles West of Lubbock. Campers stay in dorms on campus or in conveniently located RV sites. Motels are also available in town. They specialize in quality training and small classes in state of the art facilities. Classes are held in the Commercial Music Build- ing with nightly faculty concerts in the Tom T. Hall Production Studio. Anyone wishing to attend these classes should enroll now. To the left is a picture of the class attendance from 2006. Some of you will notice familiar faces there, maybe even your own. For more info go to: www.campbluegrass.com Pearl Bluegrass Event By Phil Raye The Pearl Bluegrass Event is held on the First Saturday of Every month at the Pearl Community Center and widely supported by the City of Pearl, Texas. This past Saturday myself and two other friends, Don Impink and Chuck Pascoe got together and decided to attend even though it was a bit of a drive. We wanted to experience being able to jam with some new people as well as get to hear some of the groups who gather there each month. There is a performance hall that you have to sign up in advance and there are two big jam rooms, a lunch room, with good home cooking and plenty of room outside to join in the open jams. There is no admission charge. There are hook ups available for RV’s. Activities start about noon and continue until…??? We left at 7pm and they were still going strong. As is the case of most bluegrass events we met a lot of friendly people who love to play music and we had a great time. Anyone wishing to attend can find more info at: pearlbluegrass.com CTBA Member Band enjoys evening Sunset by Roy Glover I dropped by to visit with George Rios and his boys this last week and found them enjoying an evening sunset which reminded me of the stories I used to hear as a boy of people gathering around the Chuck Wagon for their evening meal then sitting around the campfire and playing music. There was a host of people doing just that. The families sitting around the outdoor tables enjoying excellent food, the outdoor air, the evening sunset and great music. This band, if you have not had the pleasure of hearing them, is a well balanced band of instruments and a well balance of music. They have a great range of music and can jump on a request in a minute. They have a great following and while I was supposed to be there in a reporter status, I really enjoyed just visiting with them as well as listening to their music. More like visiting with friends than an interview. While it is great to have change it is also great to find out that some things still remain the same. Food, Sunsets, the gather- ing of friends and great music. I also had the pleasure of meeting Wayne Brooks who told me that he and his band have some great things in the works in the near future so you can bet I will be out there shooting pic- Back row: Mark Clark on Bass Josh Reddoch on percussion tures and interviewing them in the near future.

  • Bio Rhonda Vincent 2019 Jun 20 Single Bio LIKE I COULD
    Rhonda Vincent’s new single, “LIKE I COULD” is the RESULT OF A CHAIN REACTION Rhonda Vincent is no stranger to most anyone in the field of music. Why even Elton John and Bernie Taupin enlisted Rhonda and her iconic friend Dolly Parton, to create a “Queen of Bluegrass” version of their song “Please” for their 50th Anniversary Tribute CD in 2018. The Grammys honored Rhonda Vincent & The Rage with the 2017 Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album “All The Rage – Volume One” a live project that displays the World Class Talent of Rhonda and her incredible band. She’s one of the hardest working entertainers, in any genre of music, touring an incredible eleven months out of the year. It’s been far too long since the “Queen of Bluegrass” settled down in the studio to create new music, and finally the wait is over. There wasn’t a song search, or a target recording date. Frankly, the entire process was a continuous chain reaction. The songs presented themselves in the most unlikely of places. The first single, “LIKE I COULD” was discovered while riding in a limousine with Grand Ole Opry Star, Jeannie Seely. Jeannie was sharing her fear of co-writing by appointment, and how she finally faced her fear, at the encouragement of fellow Opry member Bill Anderson by writing “LIKE I COULD” with Erin Enderlin and Bobby Tomberlin. She sang her new song as the limo rolled along. Rhonda instantly loved it and told Jeannie she wanted to record it. Jeannie, in total amazement, later texted Rhonda to ask if she really wanted to record it or was it merely an impulse reaction.
