INSIDE THE SMBA
THE PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
DICK BECKLEY
The summer is almost over and our winter con-cert season is fast approaching. Chairman Jon Raemore and the music committee have assem-bled a stellar lineup for the 2011-12 season. Some old favorites are back and some great new talent will be gracing the Seven Mountains stage for the first time this year. I invite all our members to attend our shows the second Satur-day of each month, Oct. thru May for the great entertainment we have coming. Supporting our shows keeps the quality acts coming to our area, and helps our Association grow. On Sept 10, we are having a benefit show for one of our own, Charlie Tillman. Charlie has been a hard working member of our Association and for the last several years , has been the top salesman of raffle tickets for our annual picnic. Charlie has stage 4 bladder cancer and will have to undergo extensive surgery in the near future. This benefit will help with his medical bills as he has no insurance. All the bands on this show have donated their time and talent and I ask that you come out and support this effort. Information on this special show can be found elsewhere in this issue of the Hornpipe. A big “ thank you “ goes out to Chairman Bill Al-dinger, and his able committee members, Jan Woods, Bill Coleman and Jean Snyder for a great 2011 picnic. The food was great, the music abundant, and Bill showed that he can ably shift gears when needed , by quickly securing an in-side location at Allenberry at the last minute, when the temperatures were approaching 100 degrees. Our apologies for not being able to get the word of the move inside to everyone before
the picnic. If you were not in attendance, you missed a wonderful picnic, good friends and a great day of music. As I write my President’s message, we have not received any nominations from our mem-bership to fill the various offices of SMBA. Our nominations committee has recommend-ed that the current slate of officers serve for another year, and if no one steps forward to challenge a spot , the current officers will again, be the officers for 2012. The last weekend in September, Karen and I will be making our annual pilgrimage to Nash-ville and the IBMA World of Bluegrass Con-vention. I always look forward to this trip as it is the highlight of the year for me. The IBMA convention covers all facets of everything bluegrass. We get to renew old friendships, make new friends , listen to all of our favorite bands and also, to some great new talent which surfaces each year. After attending since the early 90’s, it has become sort of a family reunion for me. SMBA is an organizational member of IBMA and also a member of IBMM, the Internation-al Bluegrass Music Museum . For a great va-cation, consider going to IBMA, or to Owens-boro KY to visit the Bluegrass Museum. If you go to IMBA, expect to have a fun filled sched-ule from breakfast on, to the wee hours of the morning. You will find out like Karen and I have, that IBMA also stands for “I’ve been mostly awake”. I hope to see each of you at our concerts in the fall.

SMBA CONCERT BANDS - WRITTEN BY: DICK BECKLEY
Our September benefit show will feature 5 bands from 4-10 PM for the bargain price of $15.
Walt Crider and the Old Time Way opens the concert. Walt is an SMBA member and former
President and brings his distinctive voice to our stage. Walt is on guitar, our music committee Chairman , Jon Raemore plays a fine banjo. Deb Kaufman lends her voice to some great vocals and also handles the bass. As of this writing, I’m not sure who rounds out the band but rest as-sured you will see a fine show.
Palmer Druck and Long Ryde are from Southern York County and play a good mixture of mostly traditional bluegrass. The band consists of Palmer Druck on Mandolin and vocals, Shane Robin-son on guitar and vocals, Dale Aubel on fiddle, Bill Kegarise on banjo ,and Jay Rohasik on Bass
The Harold Tipton Band is also from Southern York County. Harold is well known in local blue-
grass circles and always brings a top array of musicians to back his traditional sounds.
The Baltimore Bluegrass Band is from the Baltimore, MD area and always has some of the stal-warts of area talent in the band. Frankie Short is the leader on vocals and guitar. Warren Blair is a great fiddle player , a top vocalist, and no stranger to big time bluegrass circles. Either Mike Mun-ford or Steve Street usually holds down the banjo slot and both do an excellent job. Dave Robert-son is on mandolin and vocals , and Darryl Blair on bass.
The Feature Band is HeartTown, a great new band on the National Scene. Darren Beachley is on
guitar and vocals, Jason Leek on bass and vocals, Greg Luck on vocals and fiddle, Tim Laughlin on mandolin and vocals, and Shayne Bartley on Banjo and vocals. This is a full partnership band with no featured leader, mainly because they are all capable leaders in their own right, all having played in other national award winning bands, including Doyle Lawson, Legends of the Potomac, IIIrd Tyme Out, Dale Ann Bradley, Circuit Riders, and others.
This promises to be a great show and one you won’t want to miss!

SMBA CONCERT BANDS - WRITTEN BY: DICK BECKLEY
October 8 - The Lost and Found
Our opening 2011-12 season regular Con-cert will feature The Lost & Found from Fer-rum, Virginia. Bandleader Allen Mills is a friend of many years, and holds forth on some strong vocals and handles the bass for this Virginia Band. Allen started the band in 1973 and has nev-er been better. Many famous bluegrass greats have passed thru this fine band on their way to making their own mark .Their song “Love of the Mountains“ has become a bluegrass standard and is always a most requested number.
The current supporting cast is , in my opinion, as good or better than all that have gone before. Scotty Sparks is on guitar and is a fine vocalist. Scott Napier holds forth on mandolin and vocals and is a worthy successor to the late, great Dempsey Young , who before Scott was the only man-dolin player ever to play in L&F. Ronald Smith is on banjo and vocals and will hold your interest with his distinctive style. L&F have graced our Seven Mountains stage several times before , thru the years. Let’s fill the hall and welcome this outstanding band back to our stage.
November 12 - Audie Blaylock
The November Band is arguably, the favorite band of a majority of our regular concert goers. Audie Blaylock and Redline, are one of the top traditional bands in Bluegrass and a semi- regular on our concert calen-dar. Audie is a graduate of the “Jimmy Martin School of Bluegrass” , hav-ing played nine years with Jimmy. He recorded a “Tribute to Jimmy Mar-tin” several years ago and , in my opinion , is the best artist performing today in recreating the Jimmy Martin sound. His sound, however, is his own and when an Audie Blaylock song comes on the radio, you know immediately that it is Audie. Redline, at this writing is up for a number of IBMA awards for their great 2010-11 Album “ Cryin’ Heart Blues”, and
Audie is also up for several awards for his part in the outstanding all-star jam “Live at Graves Mountain” CD. The band also has a brand new album just out, “I’m Goin’ Back to Old Kentucky”- A Tribute to Bill Monroe, which is getting a lot of air play. Redline consists of Audie on Guitar and exceptional vocals, local favorites Patrick McAvinue on fiddle and vocals, and Russ Carson on Banjo. Rounding out Redline are Reed Jones on bass, and Jason Wood on mandolin. This is a definite “can’t miss” show.

December 10 - Boxcars
December brings to our stage another all-star band which has been taking the bluegrass community by storm. They have re-leased their first album with much acclaim, and by the time they hit the SMBA stage, may very well have a second one out. The great Adam Steffey, a multiple IBMA mandolin player of the year is also on vocals. Adam was a regular member of Allison Krauss and Union Station for years . Keith Garrett is a superb vocalist and is on guitar. SMBA concert goers may remember Keith performing here several years ago with Blue Moon Rising. The great Ron Stewart is on banjo. Ron is an alumnus of J.D. Crowe and the New South and is also a member of the award winning group Longview. Ron made history a few years ago by being a finalist at the IBMA awards show for both banjo and fid-
dle player of the year. No one else has ever been a finalist in two categories for instrumentalist of the year. John Bowman, formerly of the Issacs and JD Crowe, is another stellar vocalist and is on fiddle. Harold Nixon, formerly of J.D. Crowe keeps the rhythm on bass for this fine band. Show attendees will quickly find that my bios of the members of the band and the instruments they play seldom correspond with what they are actually playing because these guys are all multi-instrumentalists and trade instruments around on stage like it’s an acoustic marathon. A great band and a great show. There is no other band out there like them. Another can’t miss show!
