The Bluegrass Group that our kids participate in, Rudderville Ramblers, was featured in The Tennessean newspaper on Monday, March 9th. The group was featured with a full page spread in the Williamson A.M. section. (We've got a couple of copies to send to the grandparents!)
As part of the full story, the reporter put together a photo montage with music and spoken words from their leader, Mrs. Underwood. To get to this montage, click on the following link -> http://www.tennessean.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?Category=SPECIAL0372
This came about because the kids utilized the library for one of their practice sessions. Someone who works in the library heard them and called his sister, who is the reporter for The Tennessean. The reporter came to a Bluegrass performance at the Benton House and then also came again to one of their rehearsals.
FYI, the group's next upcoming public performance is at the Franklin Barnes & Nobles bookstore on Friday, May 8th, 2009.

Bluegrass Performance at Spaghetti Dinner
The kids are currently part of a bluegrass group organized by one of their teachers at Middle School, known as the Rudderville Ramblers. The group officially celebrates its one year anniversary this month. Our daughter has been in it since the beginning, even before, if you count the after informal picking sessions. Our son joined the group at the beginning of this school year. The group has played for a variety of events such as school events, the county fair, an area grocery store serving BBQ and performances (lots of these type places around Nashville, also restaurants with live performances), a few retirement/assisted living locations and a couple of fundraisers.
This event occurred on Tuesday - a spaghetti dinner held at school during the time of the JV & Varsity basketball games.
The kids enjoy playing with the group as it is another style of music for them to play with their violins (Miss K also sings with a couple of other girls in the group).
My husband is looking into transferring some videos of the kids performing onto the blog - we'll let you know when we get some posted.

Miss K makes introductions of the group's members between songs.
