- I'm sure everybody out there remembers Manfred Mann from way back.

He actually wrote this song, and if you listen to it on YouTube, you won't recognize it.

And then the Kentucky colonels took this song and turned it into a bluegrass song, and everybody does it.

We're gonna do it for you now.

It's called Fox On The Run.

So, thank you for having us.

We're enjoying ourselves so far.

Just wanted to call and check in, see how everything's going.

You'll probably say, "Not to worry, everything is great", but we just, we miss you.

I'll call you back later.

I love it here.

So it might take the whole program to get everybody introduced, but we're gonna do it.

First of all, I want you to make welcome over here on the guitar, doing a wonderful job, she has been with the Gary Waldep Band since 1997 I think, when we started.

She's my aunt.

Y'all remember little Donna, make her welcome, my aunt, Miss Donna Townsville on the guitar.

(audience applauding and cheering) And now we're going to introduce the other lovely young lady.

(all chuckling) Y'all seen me point when I said old people on the last song but I didn't mean it.

I didn't mean it.

She's mean to me sometimes, but anyway, she's been with us for at least 16 years, and she is from the little town of Dallas, not Texas, Dallas, Georgia.

Ladies and gentlemen, a member of the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame, Miss Mindy Rakestraw!

Yeah!

(audience applauds and cheers) Mindy, you just sung the snot outta that one, I'll tell you what, that was good.

That was good.

I like that old country rhythm.

Well, I tell you what we're gonna do right now, we're going to introduce our mandolin player.

This fellow and I have been playing bluegrass since we was almost toddlers, about 14, 15 years old we met.

- Yep.

- Over at the Red Barn in Holly Pond.

I think we was 15, 'cause I know I was in the third grade.

(all chuckling) Well, I'm not gonna go there, but anyway, it was awful young.

And we've been playing bluegrass together off and on since.

He's been with many bands, he's a great songwriter.

He's fixing to do a big show with Marty Stuart down in Philadelphia, Mississippi for the Marty Stuart Museum.

He's fixing to open down there.

He's played with everybody from Jimmy Martin on down, Bill Monroe, Jimmy Martin, and everybody else that fired him, so.

(all chuckling) He's played with a lot 'em.

But when he's in town, and we need a good mandolin player, we know who to call.

He plays guitar, mandolin and bass.

And he's gonna come up and sing you an old, I guess this might be a Flatt and Scruggs song, Wonder Where You Are Tonight?

I guess so.

A good old bluegrass song, anyway.

Mr Stan Wyman, ladies and gentlemen, from Snead, Alabama, make him welcome.

(audience applauding and cheering) (bluegrass music playing) ♪ Tonight my heart is sad and weary ♪ ♪ Wondering if I'm wrong or right ♪ ♪ To dream about you though you left me ♪ ♪ I wonder where you are tonight ♪ ♪ That old rain is cold and slowly falling ♪ ♪ Upon my window pane tonight ♪ ♪ And though your love grows even colder ♪ ♪ I wonder where you are tonight ♪ (bluegrass music playing) ♪ Then came the dawn the day you left me ♪ ♪ I tried to smile with all my might ♪ ♪ To rid that feeling that's within me ♪ ♪ Still lingering in my heart tonight ♪ ♪ That old rain is cold and slowly falling ♪ ♪ Upon my window pane tonight ♪ ♪ And though your love grows even colder ♪ ♪ I wonder where you are tonight ♪ (bluegrass music playing) ♪ That old rain is cold and slowly falling ♪ ♪ Upon my window pane tonight ♪ ♪ And though your love grows even colder ♪ ♪ I wonder where you are tonight ♪ ♪ I wonder where you are tonight ♪ (audience applauding) Stan Wyman, ladies and gentlemen.

This next artist that we're gonna play, play a song of, they're from Boaz, Alabama.

And her and her brothers left Boaz on the freight trains back in the Dust Bowl days and hitched the trains down in Birmingham, their, their kin folks carried 'em to Birmingham, and they hobo'd on the trains from Birmingham to California and started picking fruit.

That's the way they were gonna make their living.

There was sister Rose and four brothers.

And so nobody knew of Rose Maddox, the Maddox brothers and Rose until the Ken Burns documentary came out a few years ago.

And everybody was calling me and saying, "Did you know Rose Maddox was from Boaz?!

", I said, yeah!

I've been trying to get them recognized for the last 20 years as being from Sand Mountain, Boaz.

They, they were all born there.

So here's the Maddox Brothers and Rose, and they are going to feature the Maddox brothers and Rose in Boaz now on our new musical heritage, a Boaz mural that's on one of the big walls in Boaz.

They're gonna put her album up there.

So we finally got them recognized as being from Boaz, Alabama.

One called Down, Down, Down.

1, 2, 3!

(audience applauding and cheering) Now we're getting to our fiddle player, have y'all enjoyed his fiddle playing so far?

(audience cheering) - Woo!

Listen, this guy, listen, this guy, I've known him only a few short years.

He's played off and on with us for the last five or six years.

He lives in Gallatin, Tennessee, and he is a great fiddle player.

Played with everybody in the world and still does, great songwriter.

And when the Grand Ole Opry people up there need a fiddle player to fill in, or he needs to play with somebody like Jesse McReynolds, they call this man right here.

He's played the Opry many times before, he's a great guy, overall great guy, from Gallatin Tennessee.

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Travis Wetzel!

(audience applauding) Y'all give him a nice hand, all the way down here from DeKalb County, and we're gonna let him play a song that was written by Bill Monroe about his Uncle, Uncle Pendleton Vandiver.

And Miss Donna's gonna kick us off on the guitar.

Here's one called Uncle Pen!

(bluegrass music playing) (audience cheering) (bluegrass music playing) (audience applauding and cheering) Woo!

I'm gonna have to paint my fingernails again.

Woo!

That takes 'em off, I'm telling you.

Okay folks, were gonna do one more song and turn it back over to Mr. Glen.

Glen Williams is a wonderful person, he has booked us at Foggy Hollow many times and we've always had a good time down there.

The old foggy holidays.

That was fun.

Glen Williams and their band.

Have you enjoyed all the bands here tonight?

(audience applauding) (audience cheering) Haven't they been great?

That's great.

(instruments tuning) Now if you folks wanna sing, we've been doing all the singing, it's your time and I know you know this song.

I thought it would be fitting tonight to end and close out the show with an old standard that we all love so well.

And we hope that that circle never breaks, but sometimes it does.

But we're all gonna be joined again in the hereafter with another big heavenly circle.

Here's one Will The Circle Be Unbroken.

We've enjoyed it, we love you.

Thank you so much.

(audience applauding and cheering) Thank you!

- The whole format of it was really great, I think.

I'm fairly new to it, I never really listened to it that much before and didn't really think I liked it till I came here last year.

And realized it was a lot more than what I thought it was.

- The sound of the mandolin and the banjo, I just like the words and love the songs, they're related to real life more so than a lot of this other garbage they play.

- Oh my goodness, the scenery here is beautiful, the stage is amazing, it's just the perfect setting and the sunset's great!

- It's just the atmosphere, it's just like home.

When I was young.

Listening to my grandparents.

- Oh, it's so fun, because I feel like bluegrass, this bluegrass is very wholesome.

'Cause we're particular about what our kids listen to, and this is a safe environment.

It's a wonderful atmosphere, friendly people.

And bluegrass music is just such a fun family affair, 'cause we all get up, we all dance and it's fun to learn about the different instruments for them as well, so we've just, I'm so thankful that it's something I grew up with and now my family is enjoying it together.

- Well, we really like the venue.

We like being outdoors and we like being out, and the type of music that you have, the bluegrass and three, like she mentioned, about three on a string.

And we just love everything about this area and so this why we're here and we love coming back.

We're glad, hope you guys keep doing it year after year.

- My sister and her husband, he grew up in North Carolina and that was the music he grew up listening to.

And I was kind of exposed to it through that.

And I just really enjoy it.

Well, Bluegrass on the Rim is just a little piece of heaven!
