KUNSELMAN REUNION 2008

Thanks to everyone who was able to make to this year's reunion. Next year is already planned, thanks to a mix up in scheduling at the park. The date is June 27 pavilion 9. It was good to see Jackie. Haven't seen her in over 10 years. That's way too long. Michele, Jessie, Kaye and Beth, it would be good to see you guys too so plan early for next year. If anyone has any suggestions for something to do that would be more exciting to get more to come, let me know. Again thanks to everyone who came and see you next year!!!

One Good Guy

This is our friend, Pork McElhinny. He and his wife, Cathy and son, Ryan moved to Nashville last November. We stayed with them while we were there. He is paying his dues at the honky tonks in Nashville. The first picture is at a place called the Wheel where he plays solo, the next two is at a place called Rippy's, where he plays with a guy named Paul. The last is at Rippy's but they are a trio. Rippy's is right across the street from the Somet Center where the CMA's were held this year...but no didn't see anyone. On Thursday, Pork played the Wheel and then went a played a Rippy's with Paul. Friday he played a double at Rippy's, first with Paul and then with the a band. He is working really hard at breaking into the business. A couple big name people have songs that he has written so maybe you will hear some on the radio soon and see Pork get an award for song writer of the year.

Cathy works at the Grand Ole Opry Hotel. That place is HUGE!!! They just recently bought a house in Greenbrier, there's a cool story behind that, ask me sometime and I'll let ya know. She loves horses too so they have a beautiful home with a barn for the horses.

For Mom

Jim and I went to Nashville this past week....it was a birthday present to myself. My mom was a big Ernest Tubb fan so I had to get this picture for her. The bottom picture is the same sign just at night...obviously. All the honky tonks...they aren't called bars down there..they are honky tonks. Anyway, they all have live music, whether it is just a single person or a band, you can go in and have a couple drinks and hear some really good music. The players get paid very little by the honky tonk to play, just $20.00 in some cases, so they mostly play for tips.

Saturday was Will's birthday and he had a firside party. Lots of toy trucks, cars, four wheelers and anything else with wheels. Everyone enjoyed gob cake, apple pie and ice cream and Livie and Pappy singing. Happy Birthday Wilsker!!
