Last year was another busy year for the Annie Mae Rhodes Band as we had many fun performances around the local area. During the last summer we had the honor of playing for the regional VFW picnic in Lowell and the food was fantastic and the people were so amazing and friendly. They must have heard we were coming far in advance though and had to put up a special warning sign that the world famous Herb Hill would be loose at the picnic celebration. LOL</div>

One of our other regular performance spots each year is the Shady Oaks Father's Day brunch. We always love having our youngest member of the the band Miss Clara Lynn join in for a couple of her favorite songs. She just gets better every year and always steals the show, and now she has learned how to play the Ukulele too! <br />

The past year has been very busy as usual for the annie mae Rhodes Band, and we have enjoyed many fun and exciting events around the area. One of the highlights was the Cottage Grove Bohemia Days Celebration where we were entertained by Chris Booher and his wife and kids. Chris has a very talented group of kids who play fiddle and sing and they put on a great show. Here below are a few pictures from some of the activities and events we performed at over the last year.</div>

We have so much fun playing music and Annie's grand daughter Clara Lynn has got the bug too. She loves singing songs with the band and so from time to time she will get up on stage and perform one of her favorites. It is so much fun to listen and watch Clara Lynn and the crowd always cheers her on. She seems to steal the show every time she gets on stage with us and I am sure we will see her more often as she grows older and learns more songs. </div>

This last February was the 5th annual Habitat for Humanity Crab Feed and just as before, it was a sell out crowd. Everyone seems to love the event every year and there are plenty of crab legs to go around so if you haven't been to one yet you should make plans to attend next year. Our band always has a great time playing for the crab feed, we enjoying seeing all the people having a good time and they really give us a great response to our music. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is so awesome to have a great activity for the whole family to enjoy and for a worthy cause too. Unfortunately the only the missing this year was our amazing fiddle player Linda Danielson could not be there since she had traveled to Thailand to visit her cousin. We are happy that she made it back safe & sound and she had a great trip report to tell when she got back. Be sure to come see us perform this year and you can visit and talk to Linda or anyone else in the band and learn more about us and our adventures.</div>

This past year has been another fun filled list of activities for our band. We have many functions we play each year and some gigs that pop up from time to time that are new. We always enjoy our normal <a href="http://www.saginawvineyard.com/" target="_blank"><b>Saginaw Vineyard </b></a>events, but this year we were involved with a fund raising event for a local celebrity favorite, Marty Martin. <a href="http://www.saginawvineyard.com/" target="_blank"><b>Saginaw Vineyard</b></a> was the host of the fund raiser and with the help and planning from Larry Barkemeyer, we helped by performing during the 4 hour show. Along with our band was <a href="http://www.thehuckleberrys.us/" target="_blank"><b>Larry's group The Huckleberrys,</b> </a>and also a Eugene favorite, Fiddling Sue. The event was a great success and over a thousand dollars was raised to lend Marty a hand in battling his cancer. We wish the best for Marty Martin and look forward to seeing him continue singing and spreading joy around the community.<br />

This past summer we had our usual busy schedule of various functions around Cottage Grove. One of the big events that we performed for was the <a href="http://www.ocbfestival.com/" target="_blank">Covered Bridge Celebration</a> at the new park on 10th street. The festival was a big success and many people came out to enjoy the activities and shows throughout the day. While we were there, we thought it would be fun to get some new pictures of the band in the new park and so we asked Kelly's niece Amy to come down and take some photos for us. Amy is a great photographer and we really appreciate all the pictures she took. Here are just a few of our favorites.<br />

This was the third time they have held this dinner and all three times has been a huge success. It is always fun to see all the guests crack crab and get all messy and see the big smile on their faces. The dinner is so popular that <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0lZa7iDUNivXrxW3BTIMly9f6O-FDPIyxBl0rwoquM1edN14ixIEZ9zY6E_xg03ThTebW__K55fhDoDc0hPsiUAlnHONQgLwpm85D-oRGXBWA-EABl4oe-zgj4VD3auvAuNjYiZG_Yk/s1600/IMG_0668.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0lZa7iDUNivXrxW3BTIMly9f6O-FDPIyxBl0rwoquM1edN14ixIEZ9zY6E_xg03ThTebW__K55fhDoDc0hPsiUAlnHONQgLwpm85D-oRGXBWA-EABl4oe-zgj4VD3auvAuNjYiZG_Yk/s200/IMG_0668.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5721315507038444882" border="0" align="right" /></a>they need to split up the dinner into two separate times during the evening to allow everyone a chance to get a seat at one of the many tables.<br /><br />Our band played music through the whole three hour event with a break in between while they cleaned tables for the second group. Since we have been very active playing for many Habitat events, I had the privilege of writing the "Habitat For Humanity Song" for the local Cottage Grove chapter. With many people coming and going during the crab feed, our band played the song so many times, the guys could actually play it with their eyes closed. (LOL) It was very fun and we enjoyed hearing the audience learning the song too and even singing along with us.<span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"><br /><br /></span>After everyone had finished, we got a chance to dig in and finish off the last of the crab and have some fun getting ourselves all messy too.

One of the last big activities that we were involved with was the<a href="http://www.cycleoregon.com/blog/news-updates/day-two/"> Cycle Oregon Bicycle Tour</a>. They started off this year's ride in Sutherlin and made their first stop in Cottage Grove. Our band had the pleasure of performing in the downtown area where Main street was closed off'.<br /><br />Many vendors set-up booths and lots of bicyclists and visitors wandered in and out all day to enjoy the food, unique shopping and of course stop and listen to our music. It was fun to see the bicycle riders come by and stop and listen and some even did a little dancing.<br /><br />Another fun and unique thing we got to do was visit the famous Deathmobile from the movie Animal House. Many people stopped by to have their picture taken with the historical movie car and of course we did too. <br /><br />So now we are ready to kick back for the winter season and work on more music. Now with Linda Danielson, our new fiddle player joining the band, we are looking forward to some new and exciting songs to work up. We are very happy and fortunate have Linda join our band and I will have more on that in the future, so keep checking back for more news and band performance dates!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss250/sofreshphotography/Death%20Mobile%20Photos%202011/DeathMobile1b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 399px; height: 284px;" src="http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss250/sofreshphotography/Death%20Mobile%20Photos%202011/DeathMobile1b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss250/sofreshphotography/Death%20Mobile%20Photos%202011/DeathMobile1d.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 394px; height: 283px;" src="http://i580.photobucket.com/albums/ss250/sofreshphotography/Death%20Mobile%20Photos%202011/DeathMobile1d.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.sofreshphotography.com/">Pictures courtesy of Sarah Craig of So Fresh Photography.com == Thanks Sarah!</a>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470694679661133168.post-28999300242945864022011-07-27T18:27:00.000-07:002011-08-07T11:44:46.636-07:00Summer Events<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKHO3rmlkdKJL8fJrpUAUlmVvlrNIe6capRXHGbdwqmmQYCKb4Vu76G65IFAIRRocU9SmVsAXCoFZzdmf7PcHlU6sy8NFFzav8NZO5qwqDVKCoMuvGCUezGkiRksxrCkkw_dS5Cd-puRY/s1600/blog+05.jpg"><img style="width: 287px; height: 215px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634211146753060386" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKHO3rmlkdKJL8fJrpUAUlmVvlrNIe6capRXHGbdwqmmQYCKb4Vu76G65IFAIRRocU9SmVsAXCoFZzdmf7PcHlU6sy8NFFzav8NZO5qwqDVKCoMuvGCUezGkiRksxrCkkw_dS5Cd-puRY/s320/blog+05.jpg" align="right" border="0" /></a>This year has been a very busy summer for the annie mae Rhodes band! We have played for many different events all over town and we have really enjoyed all the great response from our fans new & old.<br />This year our new endeavor has been the addition of drums for another variation of songs for us to play with a little more of a country rock sound. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Herb Hill</span> steps in on the drums, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Kelly White</span> takes over on the bass, <span style="font-weight: bold;">Brad Markham</span> continues to add the awesome banjo picking which gives us our unique style and flavor. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Neil Fain</span> grabs his telecaster electric guitar and gets the rocking started and with me (<span style="font-weight: bold;">Annie Mae</span>) switching back & forth on rhythm guitar & mandolin, we have a great time!<br /><br />We have already played our first gig at Saginaw Vineyard with the drums and look forward to going back a second time in August. The setting there at <a href="http://saginawvineyard.com/Events.htm">Saginaw Vineyard </a>is very beautiful. The people can bring their own food for picnicking and sit around in the grass or under the huge tree and relax while they enjoy the music. They also have food catered there too and of course plenty of wine & beer!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0mSXV-ehUeCF8-kDfygahV6HQ3LryMDHyLsYrxyho7KzIjtn3qjitvSoH5dU428B6mkEnh1mzU-j9bO-BhNHco9_RgYEF0vXucGU8_8MQJJuu1l1EoN2OYDUSINudPW75P2OZ0WCwlw/s1600/blog+04.jpg"><img style="width: 233px; height: 176px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634211146608252546" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge0mSXV-ehUeCF8-kDfygahV6HQ3LryMDHyLsYrxyho7KzIjtn3qjitvSoH5dU428B6mkEnh1mzU-j9bO-BhNHco9_RgYEF0vXucGU8_8MQJJuu1l1EoN2OYDUSINudPW75P2OZ0WCwlw/s320/blog+04.jpg" align="left" border="0" /></a> One of the last public events we played for was the <a href="http://www.cottagegrove.org/geninfo.html">Cottage Grove</a> 3rd annual <a href="http://www.cottagegrovegardentour.org/">Town & Country Garden Tour of local homes.</a> This seems to be a very popular tour now and this year we set-up and played in downtown and the backdrop was awesome! The small park is right on main street and the wall behind us has a huge mural of a beautiful historical woman in a very unique and colorful picture. We were very excited to have some new photos taken of our band with the beautiful mural behind us. Later on we will be back here to play again for the annual Bicycle Tour.<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wa2vPh1PD1gqkC7SFJAAY8Du-_pIG9mv-A269uBCgSMKJs2QAvFA5OdlKts8JEymjJ1a4ZrYmbYSzxQVlBJ8PDEaxiHjdz_3TdnAtnT2CuYTPGdDg4SIv5wItRJqRH-XTXtL5vtZtnQ/s1600/blog+03.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634211141032735442" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4wa2vPh1PD1gqkC7SFJAAY8Du-_pIG9mv-A269uBCgSMKJs2QAvFA5OdlKts8JEymjJ1a4ZrYmbYSzxQVlBJ8PDEaxiHjdz_3TdnAtnT2CuYTPGdDg4SIv5wItRJqRH-XTXtL5vtZtnQ/s320/blog+03.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD2qLTxMfQkXqDvTjrPAmdMb0zQrqddRmwO7wObLJrWHJuQA-KzhktqfEVv1QqEGrcUBKKEEVt5Rx8wpU1AzboW2PcQrKKP0DYaVw-Gt3TJ1lFKbx1ZADotzyBgvDQ8Rn0Z20OArje5zk/s1600/blog+01.jpg"> <img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5634211135947910418" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD2qLTxMfQkXqDvTjrPAmdMb0zQrqddRmwO7wObLJrWHJuQA-KzhktqfEVv1QqEGrcUBKKEEVt5Rx8wpU1AzboW2PcQrKKP0DYaVw-Gt3TJ1lFKbx1ZADotzyBgvDQ8Rn0Z20OArje5zk/s320/blog+01.jpg" border="0" /></a><div>So keep an eye on our schedule listed on the right and come and have a good time while we play our selection of country/bluegrass and mixture of favorite oldies songs.<br /></div></div></div></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470694679661133168.post-51209763369780669202011-02-26T23:46:00.000-08:002011-02-27T00:14:24.095-08:00The Rose Garden<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVyHxDR5C8-bnNwzSouQeOEqbwHF48SnPNWGQnRF6ceP_P1nU_eY13gAGWYeY15eZqzPq_XpvaeYnPcPE-lfnDs22XA8aaERDsD_AjhVZN5FoWifMSbUf56iCGzmMZPri-Je-dVgVAWkg/s1600/AM+Rhodes+Band+05.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVyHxDR5C8-bnNwzSouQeOEqbwHF48SnPNWGQnRF6ceP_P1nU_eY13gAGWYeY15eZqzPq_XpvaeYnPcPE-lfnDs22XA8aaERDsD_AjhVZN5FoWifMSbUf56iCGzmMZPri-Je-dVgVAWkg/s320/AM+Rhodes+Band+05.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578276010279955746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUpc4WadSM9lpq2fQ21DCh2pUTGU3yVFkaNm91wRcTAu1cJupqm8Pb5W8j7rk-ePkarh-WeixqVkousexLUdH4n9IlKtQOL0OXDedyBpQJ1iJQ1ozZRHi5CO9jOc_JwcEAo7xl9O3F94/s1600/AM+Rhodes+Band+04.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 208px; height: 156px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHUpc4WadSM9lpq2fQ21DCh2pUTGU3yVFkaNm91wRcTAu1cJupqm8Pb5W8j7rk-ePkarh-WeixqVkousexLUdH4n9IlKtQOL0OXDedyBpQJ1iJQ1ozZRHi5CO9jOc_JwcEAo7xl9O3F94/s320/AM+Rhodes+Band+04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578274795053238098" align="left" border="0" /></a>We had the opportunity to perform at the <a href="http://www.manta.com/c/mmfjfht/rose-garden-inn"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rose Garden</span></a> (Drain, OR/not Portland) this weekend and we sure had a great time.

We started playing at 6:00pm and kept it going till 9:00pm. We had a great time and everything went quite well for us. The <a href="http://www.saginawvineyard.com/">Saginaw Vineyard</a> is a great place to sit and relax and every friday this summer they will be having live music for free for the public to enjoy. Our band is looking forward to going back to the vineyard on August 21st and play again. They were a great host and we really felt welcome and relaxed in their country setting. Any time you are out and about and want to sample some Oregon wine stop in a visit Saginaw Vineyard just north of Cottage Grove.<br />Just a little note for reminder, we will be doing recording work at Woodshed Recording Studio<br />here in Cottage Grove to try to have Annie's C.D. ready by September. All the songs we are recording will be originals wrote by Annie Mae and we are excited to finally be in the recording stage the next few weeks while Larry fine tunes the details at his Studio.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZO2_PbeQkBPbecpH49oKKPjhqtIe1RQeqjvFtuDTeq1fBzw_HCXwdCk5SrN74SnNDyrx6Ocw3U4qWgOTzLEv9JP7suVqXXhPYPDIwxzL0anbkVP6anCRykFHWzZiUk5WM1VQYegZ7T9w/s1600-h/DSC08456.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZO2_PbeQkBPbecpH49oKKPjhqtIe1RQeqjvFtuDTeq1fBzw_HCXwdCk5SrN74SnNDyrx6Ocw3U4qWgOTzLEv9JP7suVqXXhPYPDIwxzL0anbkVP6anCRykFHWzZiUk5WM1VQYegZ7T9w/s400/DSC08456.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354714723461688034" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuULuBSUncKvecIwfFZRUVXbLqSYtuGZXZfo2OK8QhVmZQ7qsbmEhYUDSokG64C_Ctx6wB27bVCVQoWEwUwQsR9A_KsOsr8iOtMM_ZW4-_tGTOQUAcZ0MlcmbKHNjMrUnlyJQHS1rWbo/s1600-h/DSC08460.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixuULuBSUncKvecIwfFZRUVXbLqSYtuGZXZfo2OK8QhVmZQ7qsbmEhYUDSokG64C_Ctx6wB27bVCVQoWEwUwQsR9A_KsOsr8iOtMM_ZW4-_tGTOQUAcZ0MlcmbKHNjMrUnlyJQHS1rWbo/s400/DSC08460.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354715131885973906" border="0" /></a><br />Here we see Annie just before our performance Friday night, probably thinking of memories from back home in North Carolina.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wf6W5rLdsMkrw9BBBbFavweSWMX5lUF6vhUDxDaqhrNXhJjp_vsWqnB5ZufbPBg6424iHx78PaviPUhfF22dl5yy3iUGxX60VFQ0Avi6wSU0uoXHH3xaaIHznvd1LEy72rDcz5CJh_E/s1600-h/DSC08447.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9wf6W5rLdsMkrw9BBBbFavweSWMX5lUF6vhUDxDaqhrNXhJjp_vsWqnB5ZufbPBg6424iHx78PaviPUhfF22dl5yy3iUGxX60VFQ0Avi6wSU0uoXHH3xaaIHznvd1LEy72rDcz5CJh_E/s400/DSC08447.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354715481931224290" border="0" /></a>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470694679661133168.post-32012850572374412632009-06-27T17:30:00.000-07:002009-06-27T17:57:34.179-07:00Habitat for Humanity Fundraiser<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_q6i9EmN5fFA/SeUejYpWrmI/AAAAAAAAAGM/ENiQeRsg0gE/IMG_0035.jpg?imgmax=640"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 421px; height: 316px;" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_q6i9EmN5fFA/SeUejYpWrmI/AAAAAAAAAGM/ENiQeRsg0gE/IMG_0035.jpg?imgmax=640" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Come see Annie Rhodes Band at the fund raising event to be held <!--Begin Welcome featured post--><br />at the <a href="http://www.big-k.com/">Big K Ranch</a> on August 1.

We had a little rain from time to time but everyone enjoyed the music and the great food. The Shady Oaks has beautiful flowers and plants available for customers and quality produce as well. The setting there is very friendly and beautiful and we had a lot of fun playing for almost three hours. We also heard that some people were here visiting from North Carolina and have heard Annie's songs playing on the radio back there in N.C. and were excited to see her perform live.<br />We are looking forward to playing there again sometime so check back to find updates on our performing schedule. It's looking to be a busy summer for us, so hope to see you out there some day.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsV764sJmIsRJsuo3LcdHf-Ul4U5ZFEEaggUCphU2M1-fV_nAZ3Z0AygaTbv0oSGhHi9U5NXsHFatGDxM-Kna9GrnN05-DkC70iw5h0-oAv1hFl5jxRhEkhUI_vuxLZCWouHi7oAvUTo/s1600-h/017.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnsV764sJmIsRJsuo3LcdHf-Ul4U5ZFEEaggUCphU2M1-fV_nAZ3Z0AygaTbv0oSGhHi9U5NXsHFatGDxM-Kna9GrnN05-DkC70iw5h0-oAv1hFl5jxRhEkhUI_vuxLZCWouHi7oAvUTo/s400/017.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350774999391027618" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJZTycs7v5IA6uQ6b-BU3iEdcvcQ_nDMNBbRppNMqUFCyaFjn3jU2oFr4yoz3kve3izFM9XSGTQE91KR4lvrx9q-w4NQWwXiHr-qKghb6JGUI6uWVqzLX0HsLkrWBwMEemBKjpB1e8eU/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNJZTycs7v5IA6uQ6b-BU3iEdcvcQ_nDMNBbRppNMqUFCyaFjn3jU2oFr4yoz3kve3izFM9XSGTQE91KR4lvrx9q-w4NQWwXiHr-qKghb6JGUI6uWVqzLX0HsLkrWBwMEemBKjpB1e8eU/s400/012.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350776045782502146" border="0" /></a>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470694679661133168.post-80451887298587477792009-04-25T11:17:00.000-07:002009-12-19T22:54:49.145-08:00Annie's Bio<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnAnJUASYanFvipbqAlCH9KkA4zqi5hYKAvv3Y3wfOGooTh9yozQhtxuU49ljog9Tuoi468QfcnDudTdxDdIqj69XYxwTm1NBjvdSDnMMlIQ9BSWXZhQA5MTcqcsSvAonkMle3sWrOJbU/s1600-h/annie+mae.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnAnJUASYanFvipbqAlCH9KkA4zqi5hYKAvv3Y3wfOGooTh9yozQhtxuU49ljog9Tuoi468QfcnDudTdxDdIqj69XYxwTm1NBjvdSDnMMlIQ9BSWXZhQA5MTcqcsSvAonkMle3sWrOJbU/s320/annie+mae.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328712744623771570" border="0" /></a><br />Born Annie Mae Rhodes- in North Carolina- in a little town called Murphy, one of 10 children...<br />The memories of my childhood will ever linger, and as the words in "Carolina", remind me of those hard yet simple ways. Music was always a part of my life.<br />I remember my Mother playing and singing "I Never Will Marry" and Wildwood Flower" by the Carter Family, and I am told I was always singing and dancing to the music where ever it was being played. My first competition happened when I was twelve years old at a Boy Scout talent contest and I was so scared I thought there were drums playing when it was actually my knees shaking.<br /><br />"Only A Memory Away" was written for my daughter who was attending school in New Zealand and each time that she came home and went back, I would be a mess for days. She taught me that there is no such thing as far away when there are beautiful memories in your heart. I am currently working on a new CD and hope to have it out by September. My passion in life is taking words and making them into stories with music and then performing my music for others to enjoy. My fellow band members give me a hard time about my performing with no shoes and going barefoot on stage; Life is to short to wear shoes!!<br /><br />If you would like to listen to my songs or purchase them, go to <a href="http://www.cdbaby.com/">cdbaby.com</a>.. Annie Mae is the artist and the title is "Only A Memory Away"<br />You can also hear or request them to be heard on WKRK in Murphy, NC by logging on to <a href="http://www.1320am.com/">www.1320am.com</a><br /><br />Many blessings to all and may these songs touch your heart and bring you smiles, make beautiful memories every day...xoxo,Annie<br />feel free to e-mail; anniemae77@peoplepc.comAnniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470694679661133168.post-3336495260463457782009-04-15T22:19:00.000-07:002009-04-15T22:40:37.499-07:00Open Mic Nite<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8y_Yn4cSFtns7nlRFrhyqm7ILTnFBnooSzTdH83rR5xvsYPlXp-id6ULErAc3vbZzRrCPhTK0zdEIO44U8UlXgmcMHAoBpTtCnIll0bHERFZx00M8bDAHKsD2yoKXHfL-pbDweElSXp8/s1600-h/DSCN0156.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8y_Yn4cSFtns7nlRFrhyqm7ILTnFBnooSzTdH83rR5xvsYPlXp-id6ULErAc3vbZzRrCPhTK0zdEIO44U8UlXgmcMHAoBpTtCnIll0bHERFZx00M8bDAHKsD2yoKXHfL-pbDweElSXp8/s200/DSCN0156.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5325159910338826402" /></a><br />Last night was open mic night at the Axe & Fiddle and everyone had a great time. Our band played 6 songs and all went well and we felt good with our performance. Some times when you play at different gatherings or functions, things will just seem to click or the audience is reacting good and makes the music better. Last night was one of those nights. We really had a great time. Rumor has it that we were asked by two different people to play for their functions later this summer. Yay!! As we find out the dates & times, I will post them here on our schedule.<br />So now we look ahead to the weekend where we will again play at the Axe & Fiddle, but this time we are playing the whole night as the main entertainment. We have been working in some new songs with drums added in now. We are excited to add this to our music variety and keep things fresh and interesting.Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6470694679661133168.post-16280002170749153932009-04-03T22:10:00.000-07:002009-04-03T22:30:17.821-07:00Back Alley Photo Shoot<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii8gLbIn1T19km590NpUc6GvhBpqlM3ZWRujmQRlZr_OYfu9UlNa87SgvRGe48NIKDjta0mJJZ4d8BU02tLbLDQevnI9mTpfZmi-Ne1NsXIjqkesbyWkL1Wk_RNRdttyWsfmvvnjOVp1g/s1600-h/IMG_7292.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii8gLbIn1T19km590NpUc6GvhBpqlM3ZWRujmQRlZr_OYfu9UlNa87SgvRGe48NIKDjta0mJJZ4d8BU02tLbLDQevnI9mTpfZmi-Ne1NsXIjqkesbyWkL1Wk_RNRdttyWsfmvvnjOVp1g/s400/IMG_7292.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320703881067413442" /></a><br />Here are some more pictures of us hanging out in the back alley.

We are going to be playing at the Axe & Fiddle Club in Cottage Grove in April and then at the Cosmo Cafe in May. If things go well we hope to get more exposure and have more gigs to play at as the summer gets closer. Will try to video from time to time and post them on You Tube and here on our new blog, so friends and family can see us.<br /><br />Cast of players;<br />Brad Markham- Banjo<br />Kelly White- Rythym guitar & Bass<br />Herb Hill- Bass & Drums<br />Neil Fain- Lead/Rhythym guitar; Vocals<br />Annie Mae- Lead vocals & mandolin<br /><br />Up coming dates in Cottage Grove;<br />April 14- Axe & Fiddle, open mic night for Habitat for Humanity<br />April 18- Axe & Fiddle, 8:30 til late nite ($3.00 at the door)<br />May 2 - Cosmo Cafe, 6-8pmAnniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13279427889774625309noreply@blogger.com0
