Hey Renee,
Ive heard alot of talk about the coonhunters club lately. Last time I was
there, I went with my dad to see none other than Dr. Stanley himself. If
i'm not mistaken, his band was traveling in an old school bus, and Charlie
Seizmore was his lead singer. Yeah, so it's been a while.
I went to the Lincoln Park Banshell a couple weeks ago, Wendy Smith and his
band were playing and some people were telling me about jam sessions and
such at The CoonHunters Club. I'll definetley check into that, I like to
jam, but picking get-togethers seem to be getting few and far between for me
these days.
Speaking of good ole Tennessee, I had vacation the last week of June and
spent a week with my mom and dad in KY. One day, we made the trip down to
Pigeon Forge. I made reservations at a wedding resort for my hanging next
year, but had yet to see the place, so we drove all the way down there, to
stay for an hour to check the place out. My how that town has changed. We
didn't go to Gatlinburg, the traffic in Pigeon Forge, on a Tuesday, was bad
enough. Its a lot different from how I remember it, just back in 94. We
always went there for a week every summer when i was a kid, and i enjoyed it
alot. That place has really grown up, but unfortunately looks a little too
crazy to enjoy it the way I used too.
Speaking of things changing, did you happen too see the prices for the Milan
festival this year? All I can say is "Oh My!"
Drop me a line again sometime, God Bless
Willie

lol, Renee, I thought "Ken Jennings, Now I know Gatlinburg has went to
the
birds.
*Well hello Railman Willie....
"I'll take Migrant Tourist Traps for $400, Alex."
Lol. Now you're trying to get me on a rant and I'm
gonna' get hushed afterall. I had to wear the soles down
on my shoes to find one lone little ole' man selling Tennessee Sorghum in a
dimestore next to Thomas Kinkade's Gallery who admitted that "all the
original
ole'timers sold out 'round here and I'm near the only
one left ..." then he went on to exclaim "I cayn't hahdly
unnerstand what these new people are sayin'." I miss
the old locals with their vast historical stories. They are
there of course, but they've scattered out of mainstream
town. My husband thought I was crazy when I refused
to pay $20-something for a wobbly tram to take us up
a mountain, he thinks I had a hissy fit. We ended up donning our Merrell
boots and climbing the dadburn thing
for free. Imagine. :o)
I'll hush now. lol.
OH!! I have a 'local question' for ya'.... have you ever
been over to the Coon Hunter's Club for Bluegrassin'
on Wick Rd in Romulus?? We haven't but we want to.
Tim here was kind enough to tell us about it and I want
to go tap my toe and... maybe join in on a few porch
songs. I'm looking hard for clogging too 'cuz the only
clog these Northerner's know is what happens to their
drains. <hehe>
Okay... now I'll hush. :ox
Renee' (Alex, what is ....never at a loss for words.)
