Hope You Had A Great Christmas!

Well...it is the day after Christmas. Terry and I finally have some time to relax. It was a wonderful holiday. In fact, we are still celebrating. We listened to Christmas tunes today...many, many cards from our friends and family decorate the wall...the candles are still glowing...the tree is still up...and the Christmas lights are burning. We won't even think about stopping the celebrations until- at least- the day after New Year's.

We spent Christmas Eve in Monroe, NC with Terry's Dad, Mom, Sisters and their families. We had delicious food and a fun time together. Terry and I exchanged gifts later that night. I had heard him mention a couple of times that he would enjoy having a metal detector, so that was one thing I got him. He and I are both huge fans of the Twilight Zone television series, so I got him the complete DVD set (I will enjoy that present as much as him!) He got me some cool tools for the kitchen, a beautiful antique cup and saucer and money to shop for a couple of new dresses.

Christmas Day, we had coffee with Terry's Dad and Mom, then headed out to Ashe County to my hometown of West Jefferson, NC, to spend time with my family. We enjoyed more great food there...ham, chicken, mac & cheese, mashed potatoes, green beans, slaw, rolls and a nice variety of desserts. After opening gifts, there was Bluegrass. Terry, my Dad, my brother, Chris and I played some of our favorite Christmas and Bluegrass songs. My son, Houston, got a banjo from Terry and me. He is enjoying the Avett Brothers in Asheville, NC this weekend and again on New Year's Eve in Charlotte. My daughter Molly got make-up, clothes, money...and the youngest, Hunter, got several games, a football, back-pack and lots of Carolina Panthers gear. We spent the night with my Dad and Mom and headed back after breakfast Friday morning. After visiting with more friends on the way home, we got in and had some leftover turkey and turned on ESPN. (There are some great bowl games this weekend...and NFL on Sunday!)

Thanks to all the radio stations that aired the Special Christmas Edition of 'Knee-Deep In Bluegrass'. Terry and I had fun producing this show. We appreciate all the nice comments about the show. Your support means a lot to us, as we work to promote Bluegrass Music. We will be out several times in January with stage shows. I will posting more about those in a day or so. Take care and check back in on the site often. I will be talking with you on the radio and I thank you for listening.~CB

Carolina Loses Heartbreaker To Giants :-(

I had looked forward to this game all week long. It seemed like 8:15 pm Sunday would never get here. That is how much I was anticipating this great football game. The Carolina Panthers and The New York Giants (Super Bowl 42 Champions) had the prime time slot---Sunday Night Football on NBC. With a lot at stake (namely a first-round playoff bye and home field advantage throughout the playoffs) the game got underway and The Panthers looked great in the first half. They dominated the first quarter and they dominated the second quarter without question. However (and this is the sad part...) they came out for the second half playing very, very conservatively...ultra-conservatively (if that's even a word...) Why not pass to Steve Smith and Deangelo Williams like you did in the first part of the game? It was working beautifully! The Panthers didn't hold on to their nice lead. They could have won with a John Kasay field goal in the 4th quarter (...and John Kasay's kicking is 'money in the bank'...except for this kick) It looked to be heading directly in the middle of the uprights...then a gust a wind shattered hopes of a win in regulation. During overtime, the Giants won the toss and elected to receive....4 and out...they punted to the Panthers...we couldn't capitalize during our possession. When the Giants got on offense again, they didn't let the victory get away from them. Terry and I were highly disappointed with the loss (we take our football pretty seriously...) Since the Cowboys lost over the weekend, the Panthers did clinch a spot in the playoffs (...and will likely win their division) It is on to New Orleans next to take on the Saints. I now officially put this loss behind us and look to the next game with positive anticipation!~CB

Panthers 30 - Broncos 10


Terry and I are huge NFL fans...specifically- the Carolina Panthers. We are looking forward to the playoffs...and hope for a Super Bowl appearance this year.>

(Courtesy of panthers.com)
The Series: With the 30-10 win, Carolina earned its first-ever victory against Denver, giving the Panthers at least one triumph over every NFL team except two: the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins. The Broncos lead the all-time series 2-1. After hosting Denver, Carolina has played a regular-season game at home against every NFL team. The Panthers finished the season with a 4-0 mark against AFC West opponents and have an all-time 9-7 record versus AFC West teams.



John Boy's Christmas Party






One thing I really enjoy this time of year is get-togethers with friends to celebrate the season! John Boy (of The Big Show with John Boy & Billy) hosted a Christmas party at his farm in Union County and a great time was had by all. We gathered in early afternoon and enjoyed snacks and college football. Terry loved chatting Jackie about college basketball...mainly because of her 'inside track' with some super players! Jackie's nephews are Stephen Curry of Davidson and Seth Curry of Liberty. She is really proud of them...and rightfully so...what a year they are both having!

While the pig was being prepared, John Boy impressed us with his shooting skills. The fire felt great. Robert D. Raiford thought so to, until he started the melting the soles of his shoes by being too close! The food was delicious. We enjoyed the evening with our friends. A big Thank You to John Boy & Eve for being such wonderful hosts!~CB

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

One thing is for sure...I have much to be thankful for. During this time of year, when we reflect on all the blessings in our lives, it becomes more and more apparent to me, just how much I have to be thankful for. Family is so important...and I have a great one. Terry and the kids (and the pets!) make each day a joy. Molly was in a pretty bad car accident about a week ago with her friend, Brittany and they both walked away with only bruises and scratches...for that, I am thankful. My Dad and Mom are both healthy...for that I am thankful. Terry's parents are doing well, too. His Dad recently had gall bladder surgery and is doing great...for that I am thankful.

"Knee-Deep In Bluegrass" recently added a radio station to its affiliate list. I would like to welcome all the listeners of 'The Wolf', a Milwaukee, Wisconsin, radio station. They broadcast a classic country radio format emphasizing country from the 50s-80s. "Knee-Deep In Bluegrass" will air each Sunday evening from 6 until 8.

I hope you can spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with family and friends, discovering all you have to be thankful for.~CB

North Carolina Banjo Clinic



Terry and I would like to thank Rod Johnston of Village Productions for hosting the North Carolina Banjo Clinic over the weekend in Burnsville, NC. We were pleased to see banjo students from many different parts of North Carolina, as well as, New York, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Terry, Tom Adams, Graham Sharp and Mike Scott served as instructors. The weekend was topped off with an excellent concert by The Steep Canyon Rangers at the Burnsville Town Center. The Rangers invited Terry and I to do a number with them on stage. We picked the old Bill Monroe song, "Used To Be". It is always great to see the band and enjoy their music. I understand more Banjo Clinics (as well as other instruments) are in the works. It was a truly great experience...meeting new people, visiting with old friends and enjoying one of the state's most beautiful areas.~CB

Tony Rice's Heartfelt Thanks To Veterans



I want to take a moment and try to express my heart felt gratitude to the veterans of this great land..
I know that it is not possible for me to email, or call you up individually and thank each and every one of you,..
And so, I hope that this letter will in some small way service, to let you outstanding men and women know, my family and I, are in your debt.
We cannot even to begin to imagine the sacrifice and suffering you people have gone threw for us.
Often being thousands, of miles away from your homes and loved ones, on our behalf's.
Being shot at, and often, shot up,...
Providing insurance that we Americans everywhere, have the freedoms we still enjoy today.
I have met so many musicians from communist countries, who risked the odds of death, to come here to the U.S.
To them, possible death by risking escape was a far better alternative, than to be denied the freedoms our veterans insure us.
Other musicians like myself, who felt they had something of value to offer, to the world threw their music..
However unless they could obtain freedom by escaping to come here, they had no vehicle of expression for their music,... it was dead,.. useless.
I have been privileged to sit in total amazement, while listening to their stories of how they escaped. The most amazing from Communist Eastern Europe.
Did you know Bluegrass is banned in certain areas of the world? I surely didn't, until shared that with me.
You veterans both in the "hear and now" as well as those walking the "spirit world" are amazing heroes to them, as well as to myself.
I again, wish to send my thanks, and love out to you, and your families, especially as this holiday season draws near.
If you are like me you might be having to tighten your belts this year. Our music industry has taken a tremendous hit with music pirating, compounded by this sagging economy.
I know many of you are still far away from home, fighting for your lives at this very moment, or out on ships, or stationed in remote locations, ....
Separated from family, friends and the freedoms we enjoy here at home, at your expense.
Just know my thoughts and prayers are not far from your sides, because I certainly feel compelled, to send my prayers your way.
Not just today, because its veterans day, but daily in my meditations and prayers.
To those who have told me that my music was of comfort to you, or got you threw the rough spots in battle....
I am most in your debt, for offering that tremendous validation of my music.
That is without a doubt the the highest honor any musician can ever achieve.
No music award could possibly ranks higher, for me.
If it were up to me, I would have have this federal government pay each and every one of you no less than one million dollars for your service.
Those who served both past, as well as present.
Whenever I walk out on a stage, know that I salute you, for providing me the opportunity to stand there and perform.

With Deep, and Undying Respect, Tony Rice

If you know a veteran or anyone on active duty, please cut and paste my letter into an email and send it on my behalf. Many Thanx, Tony

Fall & Halloween Fun!






It was a great weekend with the family.  I hope everyone enjoys the pictures.  Terry and I spent the day Friday at the Metrolina Expo "Spooktacular"...a huge gathering of antique and collectible dealers.  The weather was great and we had a good time looking.  We each made a few purchases, too.  Friday night we were home to greet Trick-or-Treaters (while dipping into the big bowl of candy a little too often!)  Hunter and his friend, Calvin, dressed in 70's tie-dye, complete with afros.  (Come to think of it, they looked a little like Terry in "Boone Creek" days!)  Molly and her friend, Brittany, attended a Halloween Party.  Houston and his friends, Sam and Hugh, went to an Avett Brothers concert in Greensboro.  

Saturday we watched a lot of college football and enjoyed steak and mashed potatoes for dinner.

The leaves on the trees around the house are beautiful.  I love this time of year. ~CB

Look WHOOOO Dropped By The Office


While there's never a dull moment at work, today was especially eventful, as The Nature Boy, Ric Flair, came by to talk about a new reality show that he will be starring in.  Since Flair lives in Charlotte, we have the pleasure of getting to visit with him quite often.  He is a really nice guy...and just as energetic hanging out in the studio as he is in the wrestling ring.

From his Wikipedia page:

Ric Flair, is a retired professional wrestler. Also known as "The Nature Boy," Flair is among the most well known wrestlers in the world, has been one of wrestling's biggest stars since the late 1970s. Flair is recognized by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Pro Wrestling Illustrated (PWI) as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion, although his actual tally of world championship reigns varies by source - some totaling as high as 20. In World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker—from 1989–1990 and again in 1994.[5] According to WWE and PWI, Flair is an eight-time National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) Championsix-time WCW Champion and two-time WWF/E Champion. Flair also won the 1992 Royal Rumble and the WWE Intercontinental Championship; he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2008.

Today is the birthday of the love of my life, Terry Baucom. We have had a great day. We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Basin Creek in Elkin, NC. Monday Night Football is on (go Vikings!...oops, New Orleans just scored...) We had birthday cake this evening. Terry has heard from many friends today, including Lou Reid and Jimmy Haley. A large part of Terry's day has included playing his Deering Banjo.


October 6 is also the birthday of these folks with close Bluegrass ties:


Sharon Gilchrist, Ray Deaton, Richard Bennett and Hogan Benson (son of Wayne & Kristin)
