Ray Cummins P.O. Box 1578 * Florence KY 41022 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: March 23, 2006 Contact: Ruth Hervey (859) 384-4729 Master Guitarist Ray Cummins to perform at “County Place Jamboree” Florence, KY–March 23–Many of us have dreamed of playing guitar - whether it's rock 'n' roll, country, or any other genre, no one looks as cool onstage as the guitarist. Master guitarist, Ray Cummins, will perform at the “County Place Jamboree” at 60 Old Sheep Pen Road, Frankfort, KY on Friday, April 21 at 7:30 p.m. This versatile guitarist plays Pop, Country, Rock, Jazz Fusion, Gospel, Classical and Flamenco. He is a fingerpicker, who is often compared to the late Chet Atkins, who was considered the master of playing guitar fingerstyle. Cummins describes fingerstyle as being, “a la Chet Atkins”. He says, “There aren't many people playing this style. It takes a life time of work to accomplish this style, playing the melody and alternating the bass at the same time is considered Chet style. With hours of practice and certain amount of talent, you can play classical and many other styles still by using the finger style technique. Many of my peers say that I play closer to Chet than anyone. Everyone comes out and hear a variety of guitar music. I try to play the most entertaining songs and arrangements.” Ray also made over 50 solo appearances on television, including Hee Haw and the Nashville Network Cable TV show, Nashville Now. Locally, he has been a guest quite a few times on ICN6’s Northern Kentucky Magazine. Additionally, Cummins performed alongside Bill Anderson, Lenny Breau, Roy Clark, Don Gibson, Jim Hutton, Charlie Louvin, Bill Monroe, Louie Nye, The Osborne Brothers, Tex Ritter, Betty Jean Robinson, Cybil Shephard, Cal Smith, St. Johns River City Band, Sylvia, Merle Travis, Ernest Tubb, Billy Walker, Leona Williams, and many others. During his career, Cummins has played guitar with and been befriended by guitar legends Chet Atkins and Les Paul. "Ray Cummins is my good friend and one of the best finger pickers around,” said Chet Atkins. Les Paul stated, “Ray Cummins is one of the best.” Cummins played on over 500 recordings as a studio musician. Ray has made several solo albums, that he sells at his concerts, and recently released a new one title Guitar Varieties. Tickets for his concert cost $15.

2020 Winter BMAM Newsletter
Bluegrass Music Association of Maine Winter 2020 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF BLUEGRASS BOOKS ABOUT BLUEGRASS MUSIC by Stan Keach I can think of three reasons why writing a short article covering books about bluegrass music might be a good idea for the winter newsletter: 1. There’s just not much current “news” about bluegrass music — not here in Maine, and not anywhere. Bands are mostly pretty inactive; there are no jams. 2. Some people have more time to read than usual, because there are no live concerts right now, no festivals, no jams. And, though I think a lot of bluegrass fans don’t realize this, there are many excellent books available about our fa- vorite subject. 3. If we can get this edition of The Bluegrass Express out early enough, it may spur a few Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs on the Grand Ole Opry, Dec. 8, 1945 people to buy a book or 2 for their favorite blue- grass music fans for a holiday gift. Seventy-five years ago, on December 8th, 1945, Bill Monroe and the So . here are seven of my favorite books Bluegrass Boys appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with a new line-up that related to bluegrass music. Most of these books, included 21-year-old Earl Scruggs playing a style of syncopated 3-finger though not brand new, are readily available from picking on the banjo that had never been heard before, and it absolutely booksellers of all kinds. And even if your local electrified the audience. Scruggs’ fiery banjo picking, Monroe’s frantic library doesn’t have one of these books, it can mandolin picking, and Chubby Wise’s bluesy fiddling, all done at a blis- likely get it through interlibrary loan; ask your tering pace; the bass thumping on the down beat, Monroe’s chop on the off librarian about that.

When I Stop Dreaming”--The Louvin Brothers (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Benjamin Whitmer (Guest Post)*
“When I Stop Dreaming”--The Louvin Brothers (1955) Added to the National Registry: 2014 Essay by Benjamin Whitmer (guest post)* The Louvin Brothers Original label Charlie and Ira Louvin, the brothers who made up the blood-harmony duo the Louvin Brothers, had to fight tooth and nail to get “When I Stop Dreaming” recorded. After working their way off their family cotton farm and away from their abusive father, it had taken them 20 years to make the Grand Ole Opry and sign a major recording contract with Capitol Records. The problem being, now, Charlie and Ira found themselves pigeon-holed as gospel-only artists, which wasn’t doing their career any favors. As Charlie described it to me, the gospel people really didn’t like them much because they played string instruments. Since in the gospel world the piano was the only acceptable instrument, the strings made the audiences consider the Louvin Brothers as something like carnival people. Likewise, when the brothers played country music venues, their gospel music brought down all the people who were just trying to have fun. People don’t want to hear about God on Saturday night; that’s for Sunday morning. As Charlie put it, “We was pretty close to being a fart in a whirlwind.” They knew they needed a secular song if they were ever going to get out of the gospel trap. So they approached their A&R man at Capitol Records, Ken Nelson, with the idea. Nelson was not amused. Capitol Records had just tried a similar transition from gospel to secular with a singer named Martha Cross.

Jeannie Seely Full Length Bio
Jeannie Seely Full Length Bio On the night of September 16, 1967, Jeannie Seely marked an important milestone in her music career by joining the world-famous Grand Ole Opry. The distinctive-voiced lady referred to as ―Miss Country Soul‖ became the first – and to date, the only – Pennsylvania native to become an Opry member. Today Jeannie makes clear that it's still a thrill and an honor each time she performs on the Opry stage. "I feel very fortunate to be part of the Opry tradition," the Grammy-winning singer says, "and I truly am indebted to all the wonderful fans that have supported me over the years.‖ Jeannie Seely is among a select group of country artists who have scored No. 1 hits as a solo artist, as a duet partner and as a songwriter. Born on July 6, 1940, in Titusville, Pennsylvania – the town where the world‘s very first oil well was drilled in 1859 – Jeannie grew up as the youngest of Leo and Irene Seely's four children. The family's two-story farmhouse still stands along a dirt road outside of nearby Townville, a community of about 300 folks located in the northwestern corner of the Keystone State. Jeannie's interest in music was influenced strongly by her parents. Leo Seely worked hard on the family's farm and at a Titusville steel mill, but found time on weekends to play the banjo and call local square dances. Irene Seely would sing with her daughter every Saturday morning while the two baked bread together.
