Brumley Jr. in Mountain View From: GUEST,Dale Reading the "This World Is Not My Home" thread jogged me into posting something I have known for quite a while, but never thought to post. Ozark Folk Center GOSPEL JUBILEE, featuring ALBERT E. BRUMLEY, JR. Definitely recommended! The Gospel Jubilee is this Friday and Saturday at the Ozark Folk Center in Mountain View, Arkansas, and kicks off the new season which will run through October, with a couple of shows in November. Friday night's program will also include DAVE & IDA BRANCECUM, THE NELSON FAMILY, THE STONE COUNTY RAMBLERS, and THE GOLDEN GIRLS. Saturday night's lineup will be a bit different, with the Brancecums and the Nelsons on again with THE HERITAGE QUARTET and THE MEN OF SONG. Though this weekend is not a part of the season pass package, it will still be a good bargain at $9 per night. Season passes which take effect the following week are an even better bargain ~~ $50 for the entire season, about 160 shows in all. This also includes admission to all the day shows and the craft grounds and other special events and presentations too numerous to mention. (Meaning I can't think of them all at the moment.) |

Folk Festival Info Actually as far as special guests, there's no one anybody from off would know about except Glenn Ohrlin, and he doesn't count, because he lives here all the time anyhow. Then there are The Hammer Sisters , Lilian and Ruth, big local favorites from Neosho, MO. I figure they'd be world known, too, if they hadn't taken off 30 years or so to raise their families. I'd kinda describe their music as pretty close to the Louvin Brothers or the Blue Sky Boys. As far as the rest of the performers are concerned, even though they are not world famous, they ARE famous in the Center of the Universe, and that is even more important, I'd think. What you need to do, hgsh, (shhg?) is to click around the Folk Center site until you find the e-newsletter that is put out every now and then, which usually also includes an interesting article from Music Director John Van Orman. Then look around until you find the banjo on the front page. Click on that and there'll be a pop-up with a bunch of downloadable RA songs from the Folks at the Folk Center. Good stuff. |
