THE DAILY GRIST..."Panhandle Rag is just Steel Guitar Rag played backward." -- Byron Berline, 2003 Durango Bluegrass Meltdown
Back Stage Memories Today's column from J.D. Rhynes Saturday, January 28, 2012
(Editor’s Note: A couple of days ago I spoke to J.D., just called him to catch up. Our friend told me that he was having houseguests this weekend. He said the fella ‘wanted to ask me about my music’l career. Now, whadday you think he meant by that?’ Having known the ‘fella’ for quite a few years and being very much aware of his work, I told J.D. to expect more than a couple questions. Well, anyways that got me to thinking about the old mountain man and his contributions to this spot on the CBA web page, so I figured it would be nice to re-run one of his earliest columns. Oh, and to the ‘fella’ and his wife: above all else, save room for dessert.)
Over the years I have been privy to many a gathering of Bluegrass luminaries backstage, at several different festivals, and I only wish that I could've been able to video tape a lot of those times. I'm not here to tell stories "out of school" so to speak, I'm just reminiscing about times that are past and gone forever. Times that belong to the ages now, but are still fun to recall. I guess that the one particular instance that I wish I could've taped, was the year that we had Rose Maddox, Jim Eanes, and Chubby Wise at our Fathers Day festival.
