Sarge Brad Orders and Fines for the Day Sarge Brad started with a fine to his son-in-law, Charlie Davis, since his lack of attendance the week before cost him the attendance prize. The Sarge quizzed the members on information from the Xenia Gazette. These included items about club members as well as some from afar. Happy Bucks Cliff had a happy buck for Dick Holmes, who had returned from his winter stay in Texas. Dick was decked out in Texas attire, including a very nice bolo tie. Randy was happy to return to the club after spending 5 days on the Chesapeake Bay enjoying crab. Diane was very happy with the nice service provided by John Flanagan in support of Dick Loveless. Denny was happy the Symphonic band and the Ensemble had placed 2nd and 1st respectively in recent competition. Laurie gave a happy buck for the Band Boosters and the school administration. The prospect of new uniforms for the band is looking good with such outstanding cooperation between the two groups. John LeBlanc put up a happy buck for his granddaughter whose team won 17-7 and his grandson who hit his first home run. John LaRock had a buck for his son Max, who is graduating from the Smith School of Music. Denise was happy that her daughter Tiffany did not suffer any serious consequences after being bitten by a dog. Today’s program was presented Karl Colon Fred Bartenstein Program Fred Bartenstein spoke about the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame, those who are enshrined in the Hall and the relationship of those individuals had with the Dayton region. While Bill Monroe, who is credited with being the “father” of bluegrass music was from Virginia, many of the big stars give credit to Dayton as a place where they could count on having an appreciative fan base. During the tough times of the industry when rock and roll was so popular, blue grass musicians knew they could perform before audiences in Dayton and have an income. Some of the more notable performers with roots in Dayton included the Stanley Brothers, who saw people like Paul Mullins (Joe’s father) and Vince Combs play in their band. One of the big hits of Ralph Stanley include “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” the hit single from the movie that starred George Clooney. The Osborne Brothers were born in Kentucky but moved to Dayton and played in a number of different locations in the region. Their big hit was Rocky Top, which was released in 1967. Another big start was Red Allen, also from Kentucky who moved to Dayton. Fred talked about Sid Nathan, record producer in Cincinnati who owned King Records. His studio recorded a number of bluegrass as well as blues singers. There are currently 52 individuals in the Bluegrass Hall of Fame and the Dayton region continues to have big interest in bluegrass music. Centerville High School has a bluegrass band. The genre will always be around as it has such deep roots within many musical families like the Mullins’. Surprisingly, Japan is hot spot for bluegrass music and there is a growing interest in the music in Europe, where Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers will play for the first time.

  • Red Allen & Frank Wakefield WDON Recordings
    Red Allen & Frank Wakefield WDON Recordings 1963 published by BMNN on Fri, 12/26/2014 - 23:21 Printer-friendly version Patuxent has released another exciting historical album. Red Allen & Frank Wakefield WDON Recordings 1963is a collection of 22 tracks featuring Red Allan on guitar and vocals, Frank Wakefield on mandolin and vocals, Pete Kuykendall on banjo and vocals and Tom Morgan on bass and vocals. The liner notes tell the story... Red Allen, Frank Wakefield, Pete Kuykendall and Tom Morgan. These names epitomize all that is meaningful in the world of bluegrass music. The pedigrees of Harley "Red" Allen and Franklin Delano Wakefield have been well documented. Red is justly regarded as the quintessential bluegrass singer. Raw, emotive, tender when necessary; he ranks as one of the most powerful singers this music has produced. Frank Wakefield remains the true preserver of Bill Monroe's definitive understanding of how bluegrass mandolin ought to be played and has furthered his unequalled knowledge of the Monroe doctrine with an enriched vocabulary of Baroque and Classical explorations. But what has not been fully documented were the significant contributions of band mates Pete Kuykendall and Tom Morgan. Collectively. this outstanding ensemble contributed some ofthe most lasting and memorable testaments within the bluegrass idiom. Theirs was a music of passion and conviction. The availability of only one commercial recording of this band has now been addressed and serves to illuminate the prominence of these gifted performers. In 1963, Red, Frank. Pete and Tom gathered in Mr. Kuykendall's Falls Church, Virginia home studio for what turned out to be a successful relationship with radio station WDON - 1540 AM in Wheaton, Maryland.

  • Hollywood VFD to Host Annual Bluegrass Festival Fundraiser
    Hollywood VFD to host annual bluegrass festival fundraiser Posted by Alan Van Wormer On 04/15/2018 HOLLYWOOD, Md. - The Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad will present its annual Bluegrass Festival on Saturday May 12, 2018 at the St. Mary’s County Fairgrounds. Gates open at 11 am and the show starts at Noon. Weather permitting, the event will be held outside. All proceeds from the day’s event will go toward the Hollywood Volunteer Rescue Squad Building Fund. “Honoring tradition through innovation”, that’s Audie Blaylocks (pictured right) motto. His mellow, wailing tenor and lightning-fast guitar picking have made him one of the names to watch in the world of traditional bluegrass. There’s something in a name; and Redline, the name of Audie Blaylock’s hot-shot band, could not be more fitting. Blaylock's vision for his sound involves an occasional glance in the rear view mirror, but with a heavy foot planted firmly on the accelerator, his music has a way of driving hard into the future. Audie Blaylock’s musical journey is a familiar one in bluegrass music, having grown up in an Appalachian musical family, his musical education started early and led to him sharing the stage with some of bluegrass’ finest and most respected artists, including first generation bluegrass character and giant, Jimmy Martin, as well as Red Allen, Harley Allen, Lynn Morris, Michael Cleveland, and Rhonda Vincent. Yet a true artist is never content in the passenger’s seat, and this is where Blaylock’s path diverges from the familiar, well-beaten path on this old mountain side.

  • Music – Its Role in KY Heritage Music Speaks an Emotional Language to Share Collective Life Experiences of Our Past & Present
    Music – Its role in KY Heritage Music speaks an emotional language to share collective life experiences of our past & present. We may read historical accounts of our ancestors, but the sounds, rhythms and/or lyrics of music trigger feelings of personal connection to our people and their lives at a particular time and place. There are unique musical genres that are distinctly Kentucky and form the foundation for a powerful cultural heritage spoken through song. Ballads & Folk Songs Kentucky settlers in the late 1700’s were predominately pushing west from Virginia, North Carolina and Pennsylvania into the Appalachian Mountains and beyond. Folk songs, music of the people, provided a bonding sense of identity, an outlet for physical and emotional release and a means for individual creativity. The fiddle – a treasure possession crossing the Atlantic - was the predominate instrument of musical expression predominately played by men. Clyde Davenport [Photograph]. (n.d.). MSU special collections and the Women, often barred by local customs Kentucky Center for Traditional Music., Special Collections and Archives at from playing more raucous Morehead St. University. instruments like banjo or the fiddle, preferred to sing. Ballads were often passed down from mother to daughter for generations. Most used the high lonesome vocal sound - a tight voice and high shrill tone- often mimicking the instrumental bagpipe of the Scottish Highlands. When Appalachian settlers sang songs based on their memories of their “old countries” (England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, etc), they often sang very long ballads. A Ballad is a long impersonal narrative song. Ballads tell stories of lost love, tragic death, dying children, crimes (especially murders) sailors lost at sea, the struggles of economic hardship and other newsworthy events.

  • Banjo Greats Gather at Grey Fox for Keith-Style Banjo Summit
    The gracious banjo maestro, Bill Keith, shaking hands with Jonny Cody after playing ‘Devil’s Dream’ together at a campsite during Grey Fox 2013—fifty years from the day that Bill first played it with Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. Photo by Fred Robbins BANJO GREATS GATHER AT GREY FOX FOR KEITH-STYLE BANJO SUMMIT Surely a highlight of this year’s Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival will be a very special Keith-Style Banjo Summit hosted by Béla Fleck and Tony Trischka. As if this “Triple Crown of Banjo” wasn’t enough, joining them on stage to honor the music and enormous influence of Bill Keith will be the award-winning Noam Pikelny, Eric Weissberg, Mike Munford, Marc Horowitz, Mike Kropp, and Ryan Cavanaugh, along with Bill Keith himself. The 90-minute Keith-style banjo gathering will be on Friday, July 17 beginning at 7:00pm at the Creekside Stage. Banjoist extraordinaire Bill Keith (beaconbanjo.com) is one of just a handful of musicians to have a whole style named after him. The Keith style was the catalyst that spawned new generations of envelope pushers such as Tony Trischka, Béla Fleck and Noam Pikelny. Bill has worked with The Jim Kweskin Jugband, Jim Rooney, Red Allen & Frank Wakefield, Judy Collins, Clarence White, Richard Greene and David Grisman. His 1963 Decca recordings with Bill Monroe & The Blue Grass Boys introduced his innovations to a world audience. Bill also wrote the Earl Scruggs banjo instruction book. Last October, the IBMA honored Bill with a richly deserved Distinguished Achievement Award.

The station educated me in country music. Now, after five decades on the shelf, Frank Wakefield and Red Allen’s The WDON Recordings 1963 (Patuxent) presents 22 broadcast songs by bluegrass legends Wakefield (mandolin, vocal) and Allen (guitar, vocal) backed by Tom Morgan on doghouse bass and Pete Kuykendall on banjo. They were aired about the time when the hard-driving musical style pioneered by Bill Monroe was first being labeled bluegrass. The disc’s audio quality is strong. Not surprisingly, it repeats a few songs found on Red Allen: The Folkways Years 1964-1993 Featuring Frank Wakefield (on Smithsonian Folkways) or the duo’s informal 1963 The Kitchen Tapes (on mandolinist David Grisman’s label, Acoustic Disc). After all, only the Folkways sessions were originally meant to be commercially released on disc. All three CDs’ covers seem to be based on the same photo shoot.
