Our good friends Eric Bowman, Kevin Brobeck, and Dave Buckner, stopped by and visited yesterday. Dave is a fellow truck driver, Kevin is a Tennessee State Trooper and Eric one of the best banjo players in East Tennessee. He is also a great guitar, mandolin, and dobro player. We set up the sound system and played music for about 5 hours. We really enjoy pickin with great musicians like Eric.

     Of course we also enjoy playing music with the family and today Joyce (Eddie's sister) came by and we picked for about an hour.

     Tomorrow we are supposed to play at a ball team cookout with Eric and some other musicians. We really need to take some pictures of some of these musicians we pick with, and put them up on our www.countrydrive.com website.
