Fredericksburg Light Works Your hometown photojournal, an electronic LOOK at LIFE in the Burg. More pictures of the people, places and events that you care about.
...or not so much. Sorry about any inconvenience you might have experienced Friday night
if you went to Market Square to hear Jon Bachman and Phil Makely. The
museum decided around noon to cancel the outdoor events because of the
weather so nary a note was to be heard there. Jon and Phil were at The Griffin Bookstore on Saturday night and gave a fine performance in one of the more comfortable venues in town.
This weekend is our favorite weekend of the year.....It's
time for another Ohio
Guys extravaganza!
If you are not familiar with this event, here's what's up...... Every August since 1995 we have invited our good friends and
wonderful songwriters, Bruce
Dalzell, Billy Rhinehart and Pat White from Athens, Ohio, to perform for the Fredericksburg audience. These
guys are longtime musical colleagues of Laurie who spent several years
peforming in the vibrant Athens music scene.
Billy Rhinehart, a custom-guitar maker and wildly imaginative songwriter, Bruce
Dalzell, a much-covered songwriter who has appeared on West Virginia’s
Mountain Stage and Pat White, an iconic figure in Athens who has
influenced many of the regions songwriters, have been featured artists every
year. On each visit they scoop up one of their musical colleagues from the rich
pool of talent in Athens. This year’s “ringer” is Albert Rouzie, an
English professor at Ohio University who fuels his rich, literate songs with
the power of his delta blues guitar style. Both Dalzell and White have
contributed songs to both of our CD's two CD's. Dalzell's song Tocoi
Light was the title track to their first CD and was nominated for a WAMMIE
for song of the year.These guys are really special and this event is one of our
musical highlights every year. We hope you can join us!
