gift for music. Visit www.mountainfaithmusic.com if you are interested in local gospel music. Samuel Ray would be more than excited to make any bookings for churches. The next group, Whitewater Bluegrass Company, matched Mountain Faith's love of the stage and blew the audience away with its talented members. Ted White thumped the bass strings. Bill Byerly joined vocals and lead with the guitar, new addition Buddy Melton played the fiddle and also led vocals, and Mark Pruett picked the banjo. if anyone knows their bluegrass pop culture, Mark Pruitt is an alumnus of Wester Carolina, the winner of seven Grammy Awards, and is celebrated for his work with Ricky Skaggs. Bill Byerly is also an alumnus of Wester and his daughter is currently attending the University. If anyone enjoys blues and Jaz, they would have loved their guest mandolin player's B.B. King-style of picking with elongated notes and intricate strumming that reflected the traditional blues guitar. The group's charismatic dynamics with each other and the audience kept me entertained with laughs until their finish. For information on the Company, visit www. whitewaterbluegrassco.com They then cleared the stage for The New Queen of Bluegrass and her bold band of pickers. She came wearing an elegant blue dress (hmm, blue for bluegrass?) and a sparkling long coat (also blue) that caught every stage light and illuminated her presence. After a warm welcome from the crowd, Rhonda Vincent began with her new hit All American Bluegrass Giri" which delightfully captures her great love of bluegrass with the lyrics "though I might be from Missouri, 'm as bluegrass as can be. The Rage consists of Hunter Berry, a master of the fiddle, great songwriter Mickey Harris on vocals and bass, legend Kenny Ingram playing the banjo, and uprising star Josh Williams in charge of the guitar, vocals, and the mandolin, as well. The group created an affiuent sound that can only be produced by an amazing cast of bluegrass geniuses. As they smile at one another and make Dolly Parton jokes (pertaining to certain appendages Parton was graced with). it is apparent they are comfortable with one another and have an absolute unwavering love of the music. As | stated before, | wasn't a true fan until this show and! left feeling proud to be in Western North Carolina, a center for this amazing musical genre. We {eft with autographs from Mark Pruett and a picture with Rhonda and the Rage. if you are also a fan of bluegrass or interested in Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, visit their website www.rhondavincent.com. The next day, Saturday the 30, was a smooth transition from last night's evening of bluegrass to the 32 Mountain Heritage Day Festival This festival is renowned all over the country and Western's campus is honored to the celebrations annual home. With so many events of the festival to enjoy, | began with the wood-cutting competition and spoke with its winner, Niles Roberts, who has been attending the event for over ten years. "just love Mountain Heritage Day. | think i's all about having a good time and for peopie to enjoy others company these beautiful mountains, he said after being presented as the fastest wood-cutter of the year. | moved through the booths and saw many parents wandering with their Catamount kiddies. | visited the Anthropology Club's table for making traditional Native American pots and the Cherokee studies table where they were earning money for their upcoming spring break trip. There they had a podcast of Cherokee word pronunciation and animal flashcards that many children enjoyed. And of course, there was phenomenal music again as | listened to Whitewater Bluegrass Company and listened to a local group of Cherokees singing in the Cherokee language, which was perfect timing as a game of stickball began on the intramural field. If you have never witnessed a game of stickball, it is truly entertaining as there are two groups who fight one another for the chance to score for their team. if You enjoy lacrosse, you would love stickball as they are very similar. The food included was varied at different booths of traditional Cherokee treats, Scottish and Greek cuisine, and also more old-fashioned choices such as hand-churned ice-cream and freshly squeezed lemonade. After visiting the car show and examining it oldest entry, the 1923 Model T, we left the festival grounds and walked through campus Where the band was tuning its instruments and preparing for the night's event, Parents, litte brothers, and sisters joined Catamount students in a tailgating feast that promoted a social gala of interaction between parents and great food. They later communed at Western's football game against the Georgia Southem Eagles. The next moming, parents and students could either treat themselves to.a campus brunch or go for an afternoon rafting trip with Base Camp Cullowhee along the Nantahala River. But Sunday marked the end of the weekend, and sadly, parents retreated from the campus and drove away from Wester, leaving their Catamounts to retum to studying and socializing once again. Even though Westem lost to Georgia Southern, Family Weekend was an overall win and success to faculty, students, and family members, and we hope that next year's will be just as rewarding. Gary Moore, a visiting parent, summed his experience quite perfectly, I's an amazing weekend that's just fun and cultural, | look forward to it every year. Everyone loves to visit Westerns Family weekend. OPI Release Photo newsmagazine a aa \4 Si Be] i] | <4 S: = a fer) " | La t SONIN
