Ben and Jameson Owens Play the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society Convention

We hauled the boys and their gear to the airport Tuesday morning for their week-long guitarfest in Nashville.  They have been having a wonderful time performing, enjoying concerts, and jamming at the Music City Sheraton. I am so grateful for this blessing from God in their lives, and for all the dear people who made it possible - especially Mark and Carol Pritcher and the Taylor and and Anderson families, Phil and Cindy, and Chris and Meagan.

Today Ben and Jameson performed with Tommy Emmanuel and Roland White. Tommy is probably the greatest fingerstyle guitarist of all time, a living legend who plays more than 300 dates a year all around the world.  Roland is a Bluegrass original whose first band, The Kentucky Colonels, played "The Darlins" on the Andy Griffith Show back in the early sixties. My boys are on cloud nine.  Hopefully we'll have some pics and video later.

God's Beautiful World

Went down to La Jolla with the family yesterday.   It was gray and gloomy until the sun dropped below the clouds; then we enjoyed the splendor of a Pacific sunset.  So refreshing.  After dark we ate at a taco shop, then went home and watched a cowboy movie wherein the bad guys got swift justice.  A good day. 

Thanksgiving Gift

November 27, 009 - Ben and Jameson wowed'em at Lord of the Strings on one Jerry Reed and two Django Reinhardt tunes.  My sons are such a blessing. See if the video below doesn't just bless your heart...
