Mtnsofmusic.Com ALONG the CROOKED ROAD THE OFFICIAL Homecoming Guide Welcome to southwest virginia mtnsofmusic.com ALONG THE CROOKED ROAD Welcome to the Second Annual Mountains of Music Homecoming right here in Southwest Virginia where we have a rich traditional music history. This annual event showcases the musical heritage and welcomes back folks for that homecoming celebration, highlighting the 19 counties, 4 cities, and over 50 towns along the popular Crooked Road in Virginia. We hope you will enjoy the scheduled activities that are highlighted online and in print with special music concerts that honor our major music venues, scattered across these Southwest Virginia mountains. This is still a place where you can feel the music as you enjoy the great outdoors. Please celebrate with us and make plans to attend every year. Homecomings are notorious for the great food as well, so enjoy the music, food and the cultural experiences. You will be glad that you did. Oh—and please be sure to invite your friends when you return! — John Kilgore, President The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail Welcome again to Southwest Virginia and The Crooked Road. I hope this message finds you a year wiser, happier, and looking forward to the second annual Mountains of Music Homecoming. This celebration of all the communities in Southwest Virginia has something for everyone: Story telling, quilt exhibits, folk art exhibits, oxen working, wine and beer tastings, night hikes, Juneteenth celebrations, covered bridges, southern desserts, reenactments, barn dances, cannon firing, blacksmithing, wild caving, canoe paddling, square dances, geocaching, canning demonstrations, banjo making, corn husk doll making, and LOTS of jam sessions. And that’s just the cultural experiences. The Crooked Road concerts this year include probably the only time five of the finest bluegrass artists from Southwest Virginia may ever team up to perform as The Crooked Road All Star Bluegrass Band – Sammy Shelor of the Lonesome River Band on banjo, Junior Sisk of Ramblers Choice on guitar, Shawn Lane and Wayne Taylor of Blue Highway on mandolin and bass, and former Bill Monroe fiddler Billy Baker. Our artists from another musical heritage this year will present the music of Ireland – the John Doyle Trio, Bristol based Sigean, and a trio of American born Irish music masters in Rose Conway Flanagan, Laura Byrne, and Pat Egan. An amazing variety of styles and repertoire will be on display at two concerts this year by twelve of the region’s guitar masters in connection with the forthcoming recording project “The Crooked Road - A Century of Heritage Guitar Music”. In case you want to play like these folks, we have two traditional music camps this year as well. The Homecoming is also your festival gateway including several premiere music- focused festivals such as HoustonFest, Wayne Henderson Music Festival, Henry Reed Fiddlers Convention, Clinch Mountain Music Fest, Hot Fun in the Summertime Beach Music Festival, Breaks of the Mountain Music Festival, and the start of the Chautauqua Festival. Finally, this year includes our first ever “Homecoming Feastival: A Celebration of Appalachian Creativity.” This one-day celebration of food, wine and beer, craft, visual art, and music focuses on the inspiring influence this place called Appalachia has on those who live here, whether you are a chef, artisan, musician or artist. Like last year, we hope you take the time to discover the places in Southwest Virginia that keep these traditions alive, and take home memories that will bring a smile every time you think on them. Have a blast! — Jack Hinshelwood, Executive Director The Crooked Road: Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail 1 • mtnsofmusic.com June 10-18, 2016 • 2 Joe Wilson MARCH 16, 1938 – MAY 17, 2015 Ever since he helped create it, The Crooked Road has been blessed with Joe’s inspiration, guidance, and creativity.

Yet with all these activities, I will most remember the impish mischievous smile, the twinkle in the eye, the crap detector glance, the baseball cap, and the vitriolic letters to those who ran afoul of his beliefs. Cantankerous? Could be. Dogmatic? That too. Impassioned? Certainly. Purist? Yep. Joe was raised in Trade in the hills of Tennessee. It is here that his lifelong passion for the music of this region began. His last years were spent in Fries in the hills of Virginia in a house he and his wife Kathy remodeled, overlooking the New River. These geographic bookends - a distance of about 50 miles as the eagle flies - encased a life rich in accomplishments, stories, and music. 3 • mtnsofmusic.com June 10-18, 2016 • 4 don’t miss our homecoming friday june 17 @ 5:30 in Abingdon More than a meal, this is a signature, culinary and cultural event designed to feed body, soul, and imagination!

  • Voices in the Hall: Sam Bush (Part 1) Episode Transcript
    VOICES IN THE HALL: SAM BUSH (PART 1) EPISODE TRANSCRIPT PETER COOPER Welcome to Voices in the Hall, presented by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. I’m Peter Cooper. Today’s guest is a pioneer of New-grass music, Sam Bush. SAM BUSH When I first started playing, my dad had these fiddle albums. And I loved to listen to them. And then realized that one of the things I liked about them was the sound of the fiddle and the mandolin playing in unison together. And that’s when it occurred to me that I was trying on the mandolin to note it like a fiddle player notes. Then I discovered Bluegrass and the great players like Bill Monroe of course. You can specifically trace Bluegrass music to the origins. That it was started by Bill Monroe after he and his brother had a duet of mandolin and guitar for so many years, the Monroe Brothers. And then when he started his band, we're just fortunate that he was from the state of Kentucky, the Bluegrass State. And that's why they called them The Bluegrass Boys. And lo and behold we got Bluegrass music out of it. PETER COOPER It’s Voices in the Hall, with Sam Bush. “Callin’ Baton Rouge” – New Grass Revival (Best Of / Capitol) PETER COOPER “Callin’ Baton Rouge," by the New Grass Revival. That song was a prime influence on Garth Brooks, who later recorded it. Now, New Grass Revival’s founding member, Sam Bush, is a mandolin revolutionary whose virtuosity and broad- minded approach to music has changed a bunch of things for the better.
