Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion was a smash hit! Our thanks to Leah and all the great volunteers who make this one of the nation's premiere events every year. Heritage TV is proud to be a media sponsor of the reunion. It may take just a little patience, but the performances we captured this year will be making it to our channel in drips over the next months. Please keep an eye on the schedule on our main webpage. It was great fun and also a lot of work for everyone. My thanks go out to HTV's great crew. Even braving sudden downbursts of rain. Just like all the participants and musicians, we could sleep for another week or so, but alas, we are back at it.
This Thursday (Sept. 24) we will be taping our very first "Spotlight on Music" show in front of a live audience at Java J's on State St. in Bristol at 6pm. Hope you will be there. Again we ask for patience. It's our first one and we will be feeling our way around to get things the way we want them. (Then we will change them again for the second show because we probably didn't get it right the first time, and on and on.) We are honored to begin this new program with a special and unique talent, Annie Robinette. We will talk a little with Annie about whatever comes up, including questions from the audience, and she will perform as well. Other artists coming up in this series include Lightnin' Charlie, Reagan Boggs, Houser & Co., and April Taylor. We will let you know days and times as they approach. But, be there Thursday. Jerry Phillips and I will co-host the show, Amanda Clark will woman the cameras, and Lawson Garrett will get the sound right. Thanks to Julie Marion for all her helpfulness and hospitality at Java J's. It's going to be fun! Be there and help us out with our first show.
