Jim declared that Joe Newberry is an official "honorary ex-Rambler."  Joe says about playing with the O'Blurs: "It's like the music in my radio coming through my fingertips.  It's an honor to play with these guys.  The first party I went to when I moved to NC, I said 'that guy plays like Bill Hicks...it IS Bill Hicks!'"

oblurs619.jpg (37506 bytes)We met cousins Elaine and John at the show.  John was present in 1975 when the Red Clay Ramblers first played at A. P. Carter's store, and Tommy Thompson crashed part way through a window he leaned against.  Elaine and her friends from Sullivan Central High School's class of '77 skipped the senior prom to go hear the Ramblers at the Fold!
