We also celebrated Dolly Parton's 68th birthday with a long set of Dolly's music, most of which was bluegrass-friendly.

| J.E. Mainer, Jr. at church in 2010 |
J.E. Mainer Jr. will celebrate his 90th birthday Wednesday, January 22, so we played a couple of tracks he recorded with his dad for King in 1946, including one he wrote.
I dug out some recent 45 RPM additions to my personal collection and shared with everyone. The list included the original recording of the Doug Dillard banjo tune, "Banjo In The Hollow" by Joe Noel & The Dixie Ramblers with Doug and Rodney Dillard on banjo and guitar, and songs from Albert Parsley & Landon Messer, Jack Cooke (yes, the Clinch Mountain Boy) from a solo recording in the early 1960s, and a track from Bill Price's band The Country Pardners.
We introduced a song from a new CD that Rhonda Vincent recorded to accompany a book by Concord, North Carolina author Nancy B. Brewer. The book is "The House With The Red Light" and the CD contains songs referenced in the book.Robert E. Lee was born on this day in 1807, so we played an old Jimmy Arnold song about General Lee to remember.
Other notable music from my Heritage Corner included songs from Vern & Ray, Leroy Troy (from 20 years ago), Mac Martin, Earl Taylor & Jim McCall, Molly O'Day, The Wade Family, and early Country Gentlemen.
We had fun and we hope you did, too. Amy will be back next week to make the banjos and fiddles ring, so tune in!
