  • Ronald Dean Rice- Audiophile, Musician & Engineer
    Ronald Dean Rice- Audiophile, Musician & Engineer Anyone who thought there were only three Rice Brothers is encouraged to study bluegrass history. Ron Rice grew up playing acoustic bass and performing with his three brothers, Larry, Tony and Wyatt. He’s the third youngest of the four and is now retired from a long career in power generation. While proud of the family’s musical heritage and impact, Rice is a highly talented, yet modest man who has created his own path. Currently living with his wife Terry in Falls Church, VA, his story is an important piece of bluegrass music history. Rice was born in Lynwood, California on February 22, 1955 to Herbert H. and Dorothy L. Rice, with his namesakes being Reagan and Martin. The Rice family resided in the suburbs of Los Angeles until the summer of ’65 then moved considerably along the east coast, as Dad Herb was in construction. Rice started playing the bass at age six with his brothers Larry playing mandolin, Tony playing guitar and Andy Evans playing banjo. This band was known as the Haphazards. Rice notes, “We played a lot of local bluegrass gigs around the Los Angeles area, amusement parks, auditoriums, coffee houses and pizza parlors. Other shows we played in the early sixties were more folk related, back in the Hootenanny days. I remember being back stage with and playing on the same bill as Peter, Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, and the Stoneman Family just to mention a few.” Rounder Records-The Rice Brothers 1 (1989) and The Rice Brothers 2 (1994) Rice recalls that the exact origin of the first Rice Brothers project remains something of a mystery.

Last year we had some late arrivals who wanted to sign up even after some of the bands had started practicing. This year, it will help if everyone who wants to scramble can sign up by 3 PM so Eddie can get the bands properly sorted out.

  • CTBA Elects New Officers a Sneak Peek at 2016 Farmers Branch Fest
    Volume 38, No. 2 © Central Texas Bluegrass Association February, 2016 CTBA Elects New Officers t the monthly board meeting on January 10, the CTBA board of directors met to discuss A business for 2016 and elect new officers, and if the new officers seem vaguely familiar, hey, you’re not imagining things. The office of president remains in the capable hands of Jamie Stubblefield. Jason Pratt returns as vice president (as I’ve pointed out before, his job is to wel- come visiting foreign dignitaries, and to take a bullet in case crazed banjo pickers attempt to assassinate the CTBA president). Alice Moore returns as secretary, and Lenny Nichols is taking over as treasurer from the departing Katherine Isgren. Mike Hurlbut will replace Lenny as membership chair. Most of the rest of the meeting was devoted to preliminary discussion of goals for 2016. No firm plans were laid yet, but it’s a pretty safe bet that we’ll have a 2016 RayFest this spring, a 2016 Band Scramble this summer, and a 2016 annual meeting next fall. Some discussion was devoted to the fact that the band scramble appears to already be outgrowing the Threadgill’s North venue, and we talked about possibly moving it to a larger space. We also talked briefly about maintaining contacts with Burnt Orange Bluegrass, the University of Texas bluegrass club. As for what other projects we might undertake this year, well, that’s still undecided, but stay tuned to your sizzling, crackling, crystal radio set. A Sneak Peek at 2016 Farmers Branch Fest he Earls of Leicester, Rhonda Vincent, Tim O’Brien, David Grisman, the Gibson T Brothers, the Travelin’ McCourys, the Band of Ruhks (just what is a ruhk, you ask? Beats me), Sister Sadie, Gold Heart.
