THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST
DRIVEN AND TREBLEMAKERS AT SILVER DOLLAR CITY
BY KARLA CAMPBELL AND ANGIE RUBLE
Bluegrass fans at Silver Dollar City got a great dose
of Kansas bluegrass two weekends in a row. The Bar
-B-Que & Bluegrass Festival kicked off right, with
Driven at the Gazebo stage for the first weekend,
May 11-13. Band members Blake McLemore, Jake
& Rebekah Workman, Jimmy Campbell and Brandon
McLemore posed for a photo in front of their sign,
just to prove it really happened! They had a busy
schedule with their first performance at 8:50 in the
morning each day as a prelude to the official flag rais-
ing ceremony held each morning at the main en-
trance of the park. The group played 4 shows each
day, and had time between shows to do what all
young bands love to do at Silver Dollar City . . .ride
the roller coasters and eat home made ice
cream. They were honored to have Rhonda Vincent
and her parents,Johnny and Carolyn Vincent, attend
a Saturday morning show. Driven will be playing the
Vincent's Sally Mountain Park festival July 5-8. Sat-
urday evening, the band welcomed Darrell Webb to
their cabin for an impromptu jam. Darrell was play-
ing with legendary singer James King and the two
bands happened to be staying in the same re-
sort. Sunday evening, Driven rehearsed the 12 origi-
nal songs they're recording on their new CD which
they hope to have ready for their appearance at the
Walnut Valley Festival in September.
After months of practice, The Treblemakers loaded
up in a 15 passenger van and took off on a road trip
to Branson, Missouri to compete in the National Sin-
gle Mic Competition at Silver Dollar City on Friday,
May 17th
. Twenty-two bands from 11 states com-
peted in the fray on Saturday. In order to compete,
each band had to play a set limited to six minutes in
each round. The kids played Slewfoot (sung by Alyssa
Carlson) and Angeline the Baker in the first round and
Bugle Call Rag, Hey, Good Lookin’ (sung by Caitlyn
Carlson) and Freeborn Man (sung by Dawson Tarrant)
in the second. Bands were judged on timing, tuning,
professionalism, degree of difficulty, crowd response

Condolences
The entire KBA family offers condolences to Delbert Reser
and family on the passing of Mae Reser on May 14th. Her
services were held on Saturday, May 18th. Delbert wrote
the following to be shared with our KBA members.
I, and my family, are so appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers
that were offered during Mae’s long illness. We were overwhelmed so
see so many bluegrass friends at the visitation and Saturday morn-
ing’s service. Mere words cannot express our thanks for your support
and kindness, especially during her final weeks. Many memories
were made that I will remember and cherish forever.
Thanks to all.

and the like.
The Treblemakers drew spot 17 for the
morning round and 20 in the after-
noon. Directed by Jimmy Campbell
and Karla (via text messages) they
dressed to the nines and spent their
time waiting by practicing, jamming
with new friends, and pining for rides
on roller coasters and ice cream. The
competition was stiff and they played
their hearts out, leaving it all on stage.
The crowd’s favorite was Angeline the
Baker. It must have been the rock-n-
roll moves the kids added for a little
humor.
In the end, the Treblemakers didn’t
place in the top six (whose scores were
very close), but received some nice
feedback from employees and fans at
Silver Dollar City and some talk of pos-
sible gig offers. The kids handled themselves well and
were gracious in not placing. The rest of the weekend
was filled with card games, singing for ice cream, stay-
ing up too late, and riding every ride possible and eating
God only knows how much. Despite what their name
might imply, they represented the KBA very well. You
should be proud.
Of course trips like this don’t just happen without a lot
of support and planning. The kids and their parents
would like to thank the following people who made it
happen: the KBA for the opportunity to play in a band,
Damn Music in Wichita for donating instruments to
raffle off, fans for buying raffle tickets and encouraging
words and support, Dan and Colleen Bruce for the use
of their pickin’ shed and hospitality, Jimmy and Karla
Campbell for all their time, talent, food and home
shared, and Mark Johnson for his wonderful teaching on
how to wow the crowd and work a single mic. ♪

MAY PICIN’ PICNIC RECAP
BY BRUCE JOHNSON
The Council Grove pickin' picnic was well attended
again this year. When I arrived Thursday afternoon I
found several folks already there making the best of the
local attractions – a few of our campers arrived as early
as Tuesday. Some of the activities enjoyed over the
weekend, besides the music, included bicycling, kayak-
ing, and bird watching.
Several groups went into Council Grove on Thursday
and/or Friday evening to eat at the Hays House. This is
a historic restaurant that dates back to 1857 and sits
today in the same location it was back then. I ate there
on Thursday evening and the food did not disappoint; I
can recommend the brisket.
Later Thursday we caught a jam near Larry Welsh's
camper which started the beginning of a full weekend of
jams. There was nearly always a jam to drop in on from
afternoon on for the rest of the weekend. Several folks
attending were from the Manhattan/Topeka area. I
joined the jam at Jim and Leslie Campbell's camper for
a while and had a good visit with them. I see a lot of
these folks at Flag camp during the Winfield Wal-
nut Valley festival and they always have a good jam.
Ronnie and Cindy Kendall, Renee Eberlee, and Kathy
Tidwell invited me to go along on a bike ride up the
"rails to trails" path Friday morning. The trail starts in
Council Grove and you ride until you get tired and
come back. We all had a great time and saw some great
Flint Hills scenery. I also learned all these trails have no
more than a 5% grade because the old trains couldn't
climb any more. That works out pretty well for a nov-
ice bike rider like myself. The trail was mostly smooth
packed gravel that was easy to ride on. Friday evening
brought another fine meal for about a dozen
of us at Hays House.
Several campers drove to Mae Reser’s fu-
neral Saturday morning in Newton. Deep-
est sympathy goes to Delbert and family
from all his fellow pickers.
I counted 37 at the potluck Saturday night
and Kathy Tidwell estimated we had about

50 campers attending for the week-
end. That is a good turnout considering
the number of school graduations
that happen on that third weekend of
May. So much food! Then, Michelle
Yoder lead a small group in a gospel sing
at their camper Sunday morning. It
made a nice ending of the weekend for
me. There was only one small thunder-
storm Saturday night. Kenny and Tena
Lungren braved the storm in their
tent. The weather otherwise was very
nice.

I recently returned from the most memorable music
experience I’ve ever had. I attended fiddle camp in
Nashville, Tennessee for four days over Memorial Day
weekend. This fiddle camp was put on by Megan
Lynch, a six time national fiddle champion, touring
musician and outstanding fiddle teacher who makes her
living now teaching fiddle in the Nashville area.
This fiddle camp was for adults only and limited to 15
students. Therefore, we got lots of individual attention
from the instructors and didn’t have to worry about
being upstaged by some hotshot 11-year-old. The stu-
dents attending were from all over the country, includ-
ing two from Canada and one from the Cayman Islands.
Our skill levels were quite varied but everyone was
there to learn and open to putting themselves out there
to learn new things.
Our instructors were amazing. Besides each one being
a top notch fiddle player, they were first and foremost
teachers and truly interested in helping us improve our
skills. Besides Megan, the other instructors included
Jim VanCleve (fiddler for Mountain Heart), Deanie
Richardson (toured with Patty Loveless, Vince Gill,
and currently with The Chieftains), and Hoot Hester
(part of the Grand Old Opry staff band and worked
with Earl Scruggs until his death).
Each day was filled with small group sessions on differ-
ent fiddling aspects, including : learning fills and play-
ing back-up, different fiddle styles such as western

swing and Irish, learning the fiddle capo technique, har-
mony singing, twin fiddling, learning new fiddle tunes,
and working on chops and vibrato. Thank goodness I
had my iPad to record most of the sessions because
there was so much great information shared with us, it
will take me months to go over it all again to try to
fully absorb it.
The evening of our first day of camp we went to The
Violin Shop, a favorite destination for most Nashville
musicians to get their fiddles worked on or to purchase
new instruments. They opened the shop to us after

hours and we had a chance for their luthiers to check
out our instruments and buy new bows, fiddles, or
other equipment. By the way, they have great prices
and very skilled luthiers, so I highly recommend stop-
ping in if you are ever in Nashville. After our shop-
ping spree, our instructors put on a fiddle tune con-
cert and they were joined by The Violin Shop staff,
who are performing artists in their own right. It was
an evening of jaw-dropping fiddle music that I will
never forget.
The second evening of camp, we had planned to stay
at the house after dinner for a jam amongst ourselves
and that did happen. However, David Grier, who is a
friend of Megan and her family, came over for dinner
and late in the evening he and Megan started playing
tunes together that ended up in a two to three hour
concert. If you don’t recognize his name, David is
considered to be one of the premier flatpicking gui-
tarists in the world. He has been named "Guitar
Player of the Year" by the IBMA three times. Need-
less to say, this was another, almost unbelievable, music
experience.
Our last night of camp was also memorable because we
got to go to The Station Inn and we heard the Tina Adair
Band. One thing that made this especially fun was that
the banjo player in this band, Sim Daley, is married to
the woman who was our cook during camp. And, be-
sides being our camp cook, Missy Daley is also a fiddle
player in a band and has just put out a CD. It seems eve-
ryone in Nashville is a musician.
To sum up my fiddle camp experience, I knew before I
went that I was destined to have a good time; I just
never imagined that it would be half
the musical experience it turned out
to be. I can’t wait until next year.

Driven and Treblemakers at Silver Dollar City

  • 1. Founded 1971 KANSAS BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION JUNE 2013VOLUME 43, ISSUE 6 THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST DRIVEN AND TREBLEMAKERS AT SILVER DOLLAR CITY BY KARLA CAMPBELL AND ANGIE RUBLE Bluegrass fans at Silver Dollar City got a great dose of Kansas bluegrass two weekends in a row. The Bar -B-Que & Bluegrass Festival kicked off right, with Driven at the Gazebo stage for the first weekend, May 11-13. Band members Blake McLemore, Jake & Rebekah Workman, Jimmy Campbell and Brandon McLemore posed for a photo in front of their sign, just to prove it really happened! They had a busy schedule with their first performance at 8:50 in the morning each day as a prelude to the official flag rais- ing ceremony held each morning at the main en- trance of the park. The group played 4 shows each day, and had time between shows to do what all young bands love to do at Silver Dollar City . . .ride the roller coasters and eat home made ice cream. They were honored to have Rhonda Vincent and her parents,Johnny and Carolyn Vincent, attend a Saturday morning show. Driven will be playing the Vincent's Sally Mountain Park festival July 5-8. Sat- urday evening, the band welcomed Darrell Webb to their cabin for an impromptu jam. Darrell was play- ing with legendary singer James King and the two bands happened to be staying in the same re- sort. Sunday evening, Driven rehearsed the 12 origi- nal songs they're recording on their new CD which they hope to have ready for their appearance at the Walnut Valley Festival in September. After months of practice, The Treblemakers loaded up in a 15 passenger van and took off on a road trip to Branson, Missouri to compete in the National Sin- gle Mic Competition at Silver Dollar City on Friday, May 17th . Twenty-two bands from 11 states com- peted in the fray on Saturday. In order to compete, each band had to play a set limited to six minutes in each round. The kids played Slewfoot (sung by Alyssa Carlson) and Angeline the Baker in the first round and Bugle Call Rag, Hey, Good Lookin’ (sung by Caitlyn Carlson) and Freeborn Man (sung by Dawson Tarrant) in the second. Bands were judged on timing, tuning, professionalism, degree of difficulty, crowd response (Continued on page 3) Above are: Blake McLemore, Jake & Rebekah Work- man, Jimmy Campbell and Brandon McLemore.

Her services were held on Saturday, May 18th. Delbert wrote the following to be shared with our KBA members. I, and my family, are so appreciative of all the thoughts and prayers that were offered during Mae’s long illness. We were overwhelmed so see so many bluegrass friends at the visitation and Saturday morn- ing’s service. Mere words cannot express our thanks for your support and kindness, especially during her final weeks. Many memories were made that I will remember and cherish forever. Thanks to all.

  • 3. PAGE 3THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST and the like. The Treblemakers drew spot 17 for the morning round and 20 in the after- noon. Directed by Jimmy Campbell and Karla (via text messages) they dressed to the nines and spent their time waiting by practicing, jamming with new friends, and pining for rides on roller coasters and ice cream. The competition was stiff and they played their hearts out, leaving it all on stage. The crowd’s favorite was Angeline the Baker. It must have been the rock-n- roll moves the kids added for a little humor. In the end, the Treblemakers didn’t place in the top six (whose scores were very close), but received some nice feedback from employees and fans at Silver Dollar City and some talk of pos- sible gig offers. The kids handled themselves well and were gracious in not placing. The rest of the weekend was filled with card games, singing for ice cream, stay- ing up too late, and riding every ride possible and eating God only knows how much. Despite what their name might imply, they represented the KBA very well. You should be proud. Of course trips like this don’t just happen without a lot of support and planning. The kids and their parents would like to thank the following people who made it happen: the KBA for the opportunity to play in a band, Damn Music in Wichita for donating instruments to raffle off, fans for buying raffle tickets and encouraging words and support, Dan and Colleen Bruce for the use of their pickin’ shed and hospitality, Jimmy and Karla Campbell for all their time, talent, food and home shared, and Mark Johnson for his wonderful teaching on how to wow the crowd and work a single mic. ♪ (Continued from page 1) SILVER DOLLAR CITY The KBA Treblemakers include: Mason Ruble age 10, Caitlyn Carl- son 16, Dawson Tarrant 14, Alyssa Carlson 15, and Wayne Ruble 13.

  • 4. PAGE 4THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST MAY PICIN’ PICNIC RECAP BY BRUCE JOHNSON The Council Grove pickin' picnic was well attended again this year. When I arrived Thursday afternoon I found several folks already there making the best of the local attractions – a few of our campers arrived as early as Tuesday. Some of the activities enjoyed over the weekend, besides the music, included bicycling, kayak- ing, and bird watching. Several groups went into Council Grove on Thursday and/or Friday evening to eat at the Hays House. This is a historic restaurant that dates back to 1857 and sits today in the same location it was back then. I ate there on Thursday evening and the food did not disappoint; I can recommend the brisket. Later Thursday we caught a jam near Larry Welsh's camper which started the beginning of a full weekend of jams. There was nearly always a jam to drop in on from afternoon on for the rest of the weekend. Several folks attending were from the Manhattan/Topeka area. I joined the jam at Jim and Leslie Campbell's camper for a while and had a good visit with them. I see a lot of these folks at Flag camp during the Winfield Wal- nut Valley festival and they always have a good jam. Ronnie and Cindy Kendall, Renee Eberlee, and Kathy Tidwell invited me to go along on a bike ride up the "rails to trails" path Friday morning. The trail starts in Council Grove and you ride until you get tired and come back. We all had a great time and saw some great Flint Hills scenery. I also learned all these trails have no more than a 5% grade because the old trains couldn't climb any more. That works out pretty well for a nov- ice bike rider like myself. The trail was mostly smooth packed gravel that was easy to ride on. Friday evening brought another fine meal for about a dozen of us at Hays House. Several campers drove to Mae Reser’s fu- neral Saturday morning in Newton. Deep- est sympathy goes to Delbert and family from all his fellow pickers. I counted 37 at the potluck Saturday night and Kathy Tidwell estimated we had about (Continued on page 5) Above: Bikers include Ronnie and Cindy Kendall, Kathy Tidwell, and Renee Eberlee.

  • 5. PAGE 5THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST MAY PICIN’ PICNIC RECAP 50 campers attending for the week- end. That is a good turnout considering the number of school graduations that happen on that third weekend of May. So much food! Then, Michelle Yoder lead a small group in a gospel sing at their camper Sunday morning. It made a nice ending of the weekend for me. There was only one small thunder- storm Saturday night. Kenny and Tena Lungren braved the storm in their tent. The weather otherwise was very nice. If you haven’t made a campout yet, there are several more scheduled for this sum- mer. Check the Pickin’ Picnic schedule found on page 6 of this newsletter. ♪ (Continued from page 4) At right campers attending the pot- luck on Saturday evening — Tena Lun- gren, Jeff and Crystal Elliott, Nancy, Larry, and Lareen Welch. This afternoon jam included Renee Eberly, Ronnie Kendall, Jerry and Lynn Moulton, Larry Welch and Jeff Elliott.

  • 7. PAGE 7THE BLUEGRASS BROADCAST I recently returned from the most memorable music experience I’ve ever had. I attended fiddle camp in Nashville, Tennessee for four days over Memorial Day weekend. This fiddle camp was put on by Megan Lynch, a six time national fiddle champion, touring musician and outstanding fiddle teacher who makes her living now teaching fiddle in the Nashville area. This fiddle camp was for adults only and limited to 15 students. Therefore, we got lots of individual attention from the instructors and didn’t have to worry about being upstaged by some hotshot 11-year-old. The stu- dents attending were from all over the country, includ- ing two from Canada and one from the Cayman Islands. Our skill levels were quite varied but everyone was there to learn and open to putting themselves out there to learn new things. Our instructors were amazing. Besides each one being a top notch fiddle player, they were first and foremost teachers and truly interested in helping us improve our skills. Besides Megan, the other instructors included Jim VanCleve (fiddler for Mountain Heart), Deanie Richardson (toured with Patty Loveless, Vince Gill, and currently with The Chieftains), and Hoot Hester (part of the Grand Old Opry staff band and worked with Earl Scruggs until his death). Each day was filled with small group sessions on differ- ent fiddling aspects, including : learning fills and play- ing back-up, different fiddle styles such as western MY FIDDLE CAMP WEEKEND BY JANET RHOADS swing and Irish, learning the fiddle capo technique, har- mony singing, twin fiddling, learning new fiddle tunes, and working on chops and vibrato. Thank goodness I had my iPad to record most of the sessions because there was so much great information shared with us, it will take me months to go over it all again to try to fully absorb it. The evening of our first day of camp we went to The Violin Shop, a favorite destination for most Nashville musicians to get their fiddles worked on or to purchase new instruments. They opened the shop to us after (Continued on page 8) Janet Rhoads and Megan Lynch The Violin Shop concert with Megan Lynch; Megan’s husband, Adam Chowning; Deanie Richardson; Jim VanCleve; and Violin Shop owner, Fred Carpenter.

By the way, they have great prices and very skilled luthiers, so I highly recommend stop- ping in if you are ever in Nashville. After our shop- ping spree, our instructors put on a fiddle tune con- cert and they were joined by The Violin Shop staff, who are performing artists in their own right. It was an evening of jaw-dropping fiddle music that I will never forget. The second evening of camp, we had planned to stay at the house after dinner for a jam amongst ourselves and that did happen. However, David Grier, who is a friend of Megan and her family, came over for dinner and late in the evening he and Megan started playing tunes together that ended up in a two to three hour concert. If you don’t recognize his name, David is considered to be one of the premier flatpicking gui- tarists in the world. He has been named "Guitar Player of the Year" by the IBMA three times. Need- less to say, this was another, almost unbelievable, music experience. Our last night of camp was also memorable because we got to go to The Station Inn and we heard the Tina Adair Band. One thing that made this especially fun was that the banjo player in this band, Sim Daley, is married to the woman who was our cook during camp. And, be- sides being our camp cook, Missy Daley is also a fiddle player in a band and has just put out a CD. It seems eve- ryone in Nashville is a musician. To sum up my fiddle camp experience, I knew before I went that I was destined to have a good time; I just never imagined that it would be half the musical experience it turned out to be. I can’t wait until next year. ♪ (Continued from page 7) Deanie Richardson and Hoot Hester teaching a session on western swing. FIDDLE CAMP Our house concert with David Grier.
