My Introduction

[ironbyron]

Hello,
I'm Byron Oost from Owensboro, KY and I started back smokong pipes a couple of months ago. I've already managed to build a bit of a tobacco cellar. I still have a lot to learn but also feel like I may have somethings to add as well. Hopefully I'll makes some friends here.
Oh, if anyone's interested I am 49, male, twice divorced, manage a large(for our area) Liquor Store, love to fish, play and sing Bluegrass Music, and have been a musician since I was eleven.

later,
Byron

Welcome to CP from SE Texas.

Welcome! I lived in Evansville, IN for a couple of years and took a few trips over to Owensboro to see a couple of shows.

I wouldn't mind hearing some of that bluegrass music myself.

 

[Mr_Wolf]

Alright, that's enough Bluegrass talk! :laugh:

Welcome from Maryland! I used to live over in Ohio county (near Beaver Dam) back in the early eighties, and we used to cruise over to Owensboro quite often.

If you want to see and hear me play some Bluegrass go to "you-tube" and do a search for Frank Wakefield. Sort by date added. I am playing upright bass and singing in most of the videos with Frank and Kings Highway. Frank is a Bluegrass legend and the first person to really copy Bill Monroe's mandolin style. He's a bit zany and gets off in left field a bit. BUT, when he wants too he is awesome. In the videos we are playing at a fall festival in Rosine, and the other stage is the Jerusalem Ridge festival in Rosine which is at Bill Monroe's homeplace.
