This is a picture of me and my good buddy Robert "peewee" Maynard doing what we do best. Robert is a fine musician and a member of East Kentucky's Tommy Webb and Onlyne.
Me and Robert has been through a lot together and we respect each other dearly. Robert has dated many women inside my family which always gives him inspiration to write some of the best lonesome heartbroke songs.
I have entitled this picture "2 Willies". This is me and my uncle Willie Jr who is better known as Junior or Boo. Sometimes we call him other things and he don't mind it a bit.
Boo is a fine musician and just a plain good ole fellow.
We talked about starting a Bluegrass group together that would achieve instant success. We're going to call it the Carter Family. Whatchya think?
Here is a good picture of the Southeastern Michigan based group Jerusalem Ridge performing at the Shake it Up Café a while back.
Along beside of me is my Doug Bryant and young Anna Draper on fiddle.
We sure done some pickin that night!
These next pictures were taken at The Breaks of the Cumberland Mountains in Virginia in October of 2000. The first picture is of me and my little lady Tracie Parker. The one below is my maw and paw.
This overlook we are posing by has to be the most beautiful place on earth. I'd love to have a house sitting right on top of that mountain.
This particular place is called "Lovers leap" and legend tells that a young Indian brave along with his white maiden leaped from this ledge falling nearly 2000 feet to their deaths because no one could accept their relationship.
What I think happened is they were standing near the ledge ready to jump, and just as they were about to take that last step, the guy said "Sike" and stepped back while his maiden fell cursing him all the way! Ok, I'm no Shakespeare, but that's the story my kids are going to hear!
