This week on the Porch 01-12-08 (First Hour)

My first show of 2008 is also my last before Peter Rowan and Tony Rice come to town on Saturday, January 19 to perform at Lovett Auditorium here at Murray State University. It is our yearly Front Porch concert and Bawn in the Mash opens the night off at 7:00 PM. There is a chance that Josh Williams may be joining us if his schedule permits.

Having said all that I opened the first hour with music from Rowan, Rice and Bawn in the Mash.

Peter Rowan played guitar and provided vocals for Monroe's backup group the Bluegrass Boys from 1964 until 1967. Still a brash young hipster Rowan says that he and Monroe often clashed during his stint with the band. He is credited with guitar and vocal work on this album which also features Bobby Hicks, Bill Keith and Del McCoury among many others.
