Ctba Newsletter 0408 Central Texas Bluegrass Volume 26 Bulletin Number 8 August 2004 Brent Sanders: True Life Bluegrass Paintings Brent Sanders is an artist from Chattanooga, Tennessee who enjoys paint- ing people. When capturing their spirit, he says he tries to strike a harmonic bal- ance, and works to portray the diversity of the people living in the South. "I want to convey the uniqueness of the culture and the harmony in which we live with one another." Musicians are a favorite study of his, bluegrass musicians in particular. He says, "I always like the musicians because they tend to stand out and capture attention." Chuckling, he adds, "As I am some- what of a hack musician myself, I've always tended to be drawn to them." If you are interested in Brent’s work, he is repre- sented by Terry Powell of Blue Crow Studios, 4410 Medical Parkway (Just south of the Burnet Road/45th Street intersection) in Austin, and can be reached at (512) 420-0668.

Greg Deering wasn’t aware of the banjo’s power against the undead until a couple of years ago — even though his business, the Deering Banjo Company, is North America’s largest banjo manufacturer and has turned out more than 100,000 banjos since 1975.

This is part of the Minnesota Bluegrass Oral History Project, and we are at KBEM radio, using the microphones and everything. We are not employed here; we are independent contractors here. KB: But we control the place right now! [Laughing] It is under our control. PN: So, we're here to talk about Kevin's experience in Bluegrass in Minnesota. How did you get started with Bluegrass music? KB: It's funny, because, again, my roots go to Kentucky. I was born in Louisville, Kentucky. I used to travel down, my grandparents lived in western Kentucky, around Hopkinsville, Kentucky - Crofton area, an area that was actually fairly close to Paducah, so, pretty close to where Bill Monroe was from. My uncles - my dad's brothers - were farmers, so, as a kid, I can remember traveling down to the farm, and they'd all be talkin' about the Opry. They'd be talkin' about hearing Mack Wiseman, or they'd be talkin' about, “Oh, did you hear Bill Monroe on last week, and he did this really funny skit.” So, I can even remember as a kid, my family talkin' about Bluegrass music. Before that, and before I played banjo, my grandmother used to talk about her grandmother, actually it's too bad I don't have a - you should see the picture, her name was Algie Hickey from Crofton, Kentucky. She was a seamstress and she was a musician; she was a banjo player, played a 5-string, I've got a photo of her when she's about… PN: This is the grandmother of the grandmother… KB: Yes.
