As The Wood Turns
Weber City’s Jim Ketron says he learned a lot about woodworking from his Grandfather, who used to like to piddle with wood. But, Jim’s turned into a whole lot more than just a piddler—or a whittler.

11-Year-Old Fiddler
It’s Adam’s mark on the local music scene. 11-year-old Adam Larkey sure isn’t fiddlin’ around. This young Unicoi Countian takes his bluegrass and old time music seriously.

Hey Duke & Miss Bunny
Gomer Pyle, USMC had a very successful five year run from 1964 to 1969. Of course, Jim Nabors played the laughable but lovable Private First Class, Gomer Pyle. But, awhile back, I got a chance to sit down with a couple of the co-stars of the show.

Trey is on His Way
Local Entertainer, Trey Hensley is really on a roll these days! He just signed on with Creative Artists Agency in Nashville. He’s been in the Music City recently recording a big, new country project for 2008. Tonight at 9:00, he’ll play his country concert show with his band, Drivin’ Force at the Down Home in downtown Johnson City. Here’s a profile of the 17-year-old music dynamo when I caught up with him at the Bristol Mall Pickin’ Porch.

He’s one of the top photographers on the planet and he’s based in Bristol. Benjamin Walls is a 1998 graduate of Virginia High School. But, as I found out, he’s sure gotten a whole lot accomplished in the decade since.

Ron Hensley in Coal Miner’s Daughter
I’ve found yet another local person who appeared in the filming of the movie, “Coal Miner’s Daughter”. Ron Hensley is known pretty well in music circles around this region. But, it turns out, he was also a movie star..albeit, briefly.

Gathering Gothard
It all started for Bill Gothard about seven years ago with a little wooden car bought at Sam’s Club. Seven years later, he’s got a collection of transportation treasures that really gets his motor running!
