Mona Jo & Friends performed at Maw Maw’s Kitchen this past Friday.  Special guest was George Hamilton V.  Other guest performers were David Mode, Bailey Steele and Brenda Bailey. It was great seeing Mona Jo, Wiley Stanford, Ricky Naylor and Charles Bowman again.  Several years ago, Charles and I performed in the same band.  I want to thank Mona Jo for asking me to sing, for it was an honor being backed by such outstanding musicians.  She’ll be back in January if not before. Come out this Friday to hear Joe Mahaffey and NuHiWay from 6-8 p.m. Other bands for September are: Gaining Ground on Sept. 15; Mountain Blessings on the 22nd; and Last Hour Bluegrass on the 29th.
