CTBA Celebrates the 10 Year Anniversary of “O’Brother” with Special ScreeningThe Central Texas Bluegrass Association is pleased to host a screening of the award win-ning film, O’Brother, Where Art Thou? In cel-ebration of the film’s 10-year anniversary, this event will combine outstanding live bluegrass/old time music featuring local all-star pickers with a screening of the film that inspired a re-vival of these genres. The film is rated PG-13. Order a drink or dinner or both and enjoy an afternoon of festive entertainment.

(on South Lamar)

Saturday, November 6, 20103:00 to 6:00pm

Tickets are $15 and will be available at the door, or reserve online (www.drafthouse.com). Tickets are limited to the first 100 patrons and are on sale NOW! Don’t get caught sleeping with the toads....

The Fiddler’s Green Music Shop has gener-ously donated an instrument to be raffled off the night of the event. Proceeds from the raffle will go to HAAM, the Health Alliance for Aus-tin Musicians.

Who are those young guys playing music with Sammy Shelor? Oh, that’s the Lonesome River Band playing at the Paluxy River Bluegrass Festival that was held in Glen Rose September 30th - October 2nd. LRB just doesn’t seem the same without Ronnie Bow-man, Don Rigsby, and Kenny Smith (all having great careers after LRB). I’m sure the audiences were pleased too. I saw this version of LRB at IBMA and even through a bad sound system they were amazing. Paluxy also had the great sounds of Audie Blaylock and Redline (pictured right). Bands from Texas performing were Digger Davis, Bluefield, Salt Grass, Joe Bass & Double Mountain, and Lonesome Prairie. Thanks to Ken Brown who took these great photos and a big thank you to the City of Glen Rose!

Paluxy River Bluegrass Festival - Glen Rose - 10/2/10

Each year the organizers at IBMA mix in new talent with the old guard. Two bands caught our atten-tion right away. One was Rocking Acoustic Circus from Oklahoma and the other was the five woman band of Della Mae. Now I need to tell you, these aren’t just a group of friends that met at school and decided to start a band. This is a group of young, but seasoned vet-erans. The band features the multiple contest win-ning fiddling of Kimber Ludiker who dazzled the IBMA audiences. The in-credible flatpicking of Arvil Smith, the flaw-less banjo of Grace Van’t Hof, the hypnotic enthu-siasm of bassist Aman-da Kawalski, and then there is the beauty, the great voice and awesome songwriting of Jenni Lyn Gardner. This band is turning heads alright but not just with their youth-ful beauty. These girls can flat knock your socks off with awesome picking.

Blind But Now I See

CTBA President Jami Hampton Paints Bright Future

Kent Gustafson provides a very well researched bi-ography of one of Blue-grass and Old Time mu-sic’s greatest guitar icons. The story of Doc Watson’s life is one of tragedy and success. Kent provides a vivid image of Doc’s early childhood as the young man who quit the Raleigh School for the Blind at a very early age and began down the path as a musi-cian busking for attention and money. He even tells the story of how Doc’s brother killed the 16 year old cat (with Mother’s permission) so they could use the hide to make a banjo head. He relives Doc’s years with Merle and gravely describes the impact of Merle’s untime-ly death.

The book is an easy read and one that is hard to put down once you get past the first few chapters. I learned many things about Doc and his wife of over 60 years, Rosa Lee Carlton. I highly recom-mend that you pick this book up. It’s a good ‘un.

The last week in September, Jami Hampton called together members of Cen-tral Texas Bluegrass for the Annual Meeting. Was it just two years ago when CTBA was on the ropes, gasping for air, and considering shutting down? Maybe so. One thing for sure is that under Jami Hampton’s leadership and with a re-energized Board, CTBA is once again thriving and doing good for the bluegrass community. The scholarships awarded this year were the larg-est ever given out by CTBA. Then there is the support of Old Settlers Mu-sic Fest, KOOP radio, HAAM, the International Bluegrass Music Museum, and IBMA. Your member dollars are going a long way towards providing support to these fine organizations as well as seeing to it that the future of bluegrass is going strong through CTBA’s support of the education of young people. Thank you for your support of CTBA and keep on picking!

AFTM’s Fall Festival & a FREE Bluegrass Fest in Dallas!How do you decide which event to go to when both are held on the same weekend? The Austin Friends of Traditional Music (AFTM) had an outstand-ing lineup this year at Camp Ben, October 15 & 16. Everyone attending had a great time. The music was fabulous and the jamming went on until the “weeee hours of the morn”. At the same time was the fine FREE bluegrass festival in Farmers Branch, just north of Dallas. Audiences were treated with Dan Tyminski, Rhonda Vin-cent, The Seldom Scene, J.D. Crowe, Jim Hurst, the Boxcars (Adam Steffy & Ron Stewart), The Traveling McCoury’s, the Claire Lynch Band and oth-ers. The music was outstanding and the fireworks display was phenomenal but that’s not why most folks go to festivals. They go for the jamming...which was sparse.

So, we ask people to tell us what they think and guess what? Some folks actually take us up on it. We always love to hear from you. It’s good to find out about new events, changing venues or locations, pick-ers that have passed on or those that need our prayers. Listen here though. If there is something on your mind, go ahead and get it out. I mean really! There’s no reason to keep this sort of thing bottled up! You’ve got to SHARE, people!!!! Some of this is too good not to share....

Another great newsletter, but...seriously y’all? I see that misspelled all the time but a newsletter, in Texas no less, should get it right. It was used twice in the (Oct 2010) edition, and twice misspelled. It’s basic contraction rules:ya’ll = ya willy’all = you all (and is NOT singular as a frequent junk mail states) - Sheryl Sultenfuss(Editor: Ya’ll pay close attention when y’all will).

Best (IBMA) memory: Playing banjo along with Ian Perry and Mike Kropp of Banjo Newsletter and Austin’s own Dave Seeman. We were on the 9th floor of the hotel when the police came and said “no jamming here,” and they were serious! Who knew there really is such a thing as the Bluegrass Police! - Eddie Collins

Hello, I’ll be staying near Bandera this winter and see that the Bandera Jam is on break for November and De-cember. Are there other jams happening close by? I play upright bass, banjo and sing. I like the traditional blue-grass tunes and some of the old classic country. My wife and I hope to meet some bluegrass people while we are in Texas. - Garry & Theresa Gerossie, Canterbury, NH (603) 783-0037(Editor: Ya’ll make them welcome, won’t y’all?)

A jam is starting on the 3rd Saturday of the month, starting November 20. The jam starts at 2:30 pm, and is lo-cated at Danny Ray’s Music, 12 Chisholm Trail Rd., Round Rock. Go east on 620 from I-35, and Chisholm Trail is the first light. Turn right, and Danny Ray’s is about a half mile down on your left. The jam is intermediate level and up. The jam ends at 5:30. - Jim Shaffer

The (San Antonio) Beginner-Intermediate Jam has been highly successful, thanks to many of you for your par-ticipation. I have kinda outgrown my jam space at my home so we are moving to Grady’s Barbeque at 7400 Bandera Rd. San Antonio. Starting Monday the 8th of November. Starts at 6 PM and ends at 8 PM. - Clifton Bowren (210) 602-5544

Meet a CTBA Member:Tracy Sloan

Introduce yourself. Tell us your name, a little bit about yourself, what city you live in, and why you joined CTBA.

My name is Tracy Sloan. I grew up in the Chicago area, moving to Texas for graduate school. Now I live in San Antonio. I am a Psychologist by day, banjo enthusiast at night. I became enthralled with the banjo after attending Old Settler’s Music Festival awhile back. Since then I bought a banjo, and got knee deep in bluegrass. I joined CTBA hop-ing to become waist deep in bluegrass by getting more involved in bluegrass events in the area.

Do you play an instrument?

I play the banjo and am bass curious.

What bluegrass artist do you like to listen to most? Earl Scruggs, J.D. Crowe, Alan Munde, and David Grisman (even though he doesn’t play banjo) . What is your all time favorite bluegrass song? There are so many great songs. And so many inter-pretations of each song. I can’t choose just one.

The future of bluegrass is all around us, all we have to do is to open our eyes and ears and look upon it. This story was so interesting and the photos on their web site so enjoyable that I decided to just let you read Tracie Upham’s article about their family trip. Check out the entire story at: http://theoldhomeplace.wordpress.com/

My family has just returned from spending a week along The Crooked Road (Virginia’s Music Heritage Trail) enjoying the mountain music of southwest-ern Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. My husband and I took our three boys and a pile of in-struments along. We decided to skip the festivals and shows in order to spend our time picking with the local folks and trying to learn from them.

You can find a lot of information to plan your visit

online at TheCrookedRoad.org but I discovered that most of the jam dates and locations are unreli-able. Local jams change just like they do here at home. I made quite a few phone calls ahead of time and found a place to pick the first night of our visit, and from there someone at each place gave us directions to something nearby the following night. It felt a bit like travelling the Underground Railroad – without the danger (except for one night in a pretty rough town at the “Coon Club”) We found at least one place to play every single day of our visit.

The definition of a “jam” is bit different here, and we never knew what to expect. About half of the time a jam consists of musicians sitting around in a circle with a group of mics at the front. Everyone takes turns with their song of choice at the mic, while the other musicians play along. Sometimes they would jump in to take breaks and sometimes they wouldn’t. The other half of the time jams turn out to be open mics – no playing with other musi-cians at all. We quickly worked out a 20-30 minute set we could play together, and my son was able

to borrow a bass most places. What all jams had in common was an audience of locals. They love mu-sic and they love to dance. Micah’s fiddle seemed to have a special way of drawing “flat footers” out on the dance floor. All of the events were free, and it wasn’t unusual to have 100 people in the audi-ence.

It was interest-ing that everyone expected Texans to play Bob Wills’ music - we don’t play any – but we were right at home, musically. We heard a lot of old-time fiddle music, not as much claw hammer banjo as I would have liked, a lot of bluegrass, and more country than I expected. And gos-pel… gospel music everywhere we went, and they expect you to know the words. All the jams follow “granny’s rules”: no drinking, no smoking, and no foul language. For a place that I have always associ-ated with moonshine, this was a surprise. One of the bands had written a song - undoubtedly for visi-tors - about The Crooked Road. It was a nice song, but a little creepy because it was set to the tune of “Banks of the Ohio.” I don’t think they were expect-ing us to notice the similarity, but it was really hard for my kids to keep a straight face.

The weather is nice in the fall and the scenery is just beautiful. It feels like taking a step back to a sim-

pler time; we went the entire 8 days without phone or internet service except when we ventured out to the interstate. I especially enjoyed the Smyth County Jam in Chilhowie SmythCountyJam.com (really large, well-organized, and great talent) and the Ralph Stanley Museum. But don’t wait until next fall. There is music ringing through the hills all

year-long.

Everywhere we went we were welcomed like part of the family. This is a fairly poor area of the country – we drove by homes that still have out-houses – but we frequently received offers of food, places to stay, and even money (from raffle winnings). We

couldn’t take their money, but we gratefully ac-cepted all the CDs and DVDs offered to us; mostly local bands or local performances of big acts. One night we complimented a man on the bluegrass T-shirt he was wearing; a few minutes later he came back in wearing an old shirt he pulled out of his car and gave us the one we liked. He literally gave us the shirt off his back. You won’t find nicer, more generous people anywhere. - story and pictures are courtesy of Tracie Upham & family

Around the turn of the latest century, Central Texas Bluegrass developed a “Bluegrass in the Schools” program where the band ‘Hard To Make A Living’ under the leadership of John Hood performed in several local schools. Ev-erything was memorized from a script written by John Hood. The script was provided to the teachers and was ap-proved by the School District beforehand. The kids (and the parents & teachers) were very interested in the music and listened intently to everything said. I was fortunate enough to be available to stand in for Chris Teague during one performance. Even though the show was over ten years ago, I still remember it well. There were other school shows performed by CTBA member bands. One performance is noted on the CTBA web site and featured excellent performances by Mark Rubin, Wes Green, and CTBA Vice President Eddie Collins.

Teachers! The International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) has produced a very fine DVD to assist educators. The DVD is entitled “Discover Bluegrass” and was recently updated. Originally produced in 2005 you can see a young Sierra Hull & Ryan Holladay narrate those older portions. The 2010 additions include youngsters A.J. Lee and Max Schwartz very effectively narrating this new release. The DVD has very brief performances by Sam Bush, Cadillac Sky, The Carolina Chocolate Drops, The Chapmans, J.D. Crowe, Jerry Douglas, Flatt & Scruggs, Bela Fleck, Del McCoury, Vince Gill, The Grascals, David Grisman, Hot Rize, Sarah Jarosz, Allison Krauss, Jimmy Martin, Jim & Jesse, Mountain Heart….well, you get the idea….and of course Bill Monroe! The Discover Bluegrass DVD can be ordered from the IBMA web site or can be loaned from the Texas Instrument Lending Library.

The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville has an excellent Teacher’s Guide entitled “Shapes, Sound Holes, and Strings”. This guide can be ordered directly from the museum and is free to educators. Contained in the guide are numerous lesson plans. The curriculum standards in the guide are for the State of Tennessee but will provide guidance on how teachers can combine studies of mathematics, language arts, science, and social studies within each lesson.

There are many other useful resources for educators. I am particularly interested in resources that describe the influence of Texans on bluegrass music so please let me know what those might be.

The goal of the Bluegrass in the Schools program is to assist teachers in describing one of the few musical genres originating in America. CTBA can offer a local program but needs volunteers. If you are interested in volunteering please contact me or Jami Hampton at [email protected].
