I thoroughly enjoyed the bluegrass show that featured two excellent local
bands. Hats off to Kelver Stiltner for coordinating the band shows.
South Mountain Bluegrass Boys featured above: Scott Deel-mandolin/guitar/electric bass, Danny Hackney-Banjo, Tommy Owens-guitar/mandolin, and Anthony
Oquinn-electric bass. This band came out first, and was very good. I was told
Danny just plays the banjo, no singin' or nothin' else, but I have a soft spot
for the banjo and he did a great job, they all did.
Frank Hammond and the Old Time Bluegrass pictured above
was the finishing touch to a wonderful evening of back to our bluegrass roots. When he came on stage the first thought
through my mind when I seen those hats was, "Bill Monroe." Winford Reed-mandolin,
Tim Justice-bass, and of course Danny Hackney-banjo (my favorite instrument).
