<div>Also, this Friday, May 14th at 7pm, the Bynum Music Series
presents</div>
<div>world-renowned musicians, the WILLIAMSON BROTHERS BAND.
They freqently<br>
share the stage with such greats as Ricky Scaggs, and they are one
of<br>
the most top-notch talents in the Southeast. They're another
band I<br>
never thought would ever consider playing "for a hat," but
they've<br>
graciously offered to be a main staple of the series here and to join
us<br>
on the cement stage for the second consecutive time. To hear
some music<br>
samples and to learn more about them, please visit<br>
www.mandolincentral.com. It's all rain or shine (we move indoors
when</div>
<div>the weather gets nasty).<br>
</div>
<div>Finally, I'm thrilled to announce that next Friday, we will be
hosting the</div>
<div>CHESTER SISTERS along with TOMMY EDWARDS & JIM COLLIER, who
will sing<br>
songs from Ellen Bland's outstanding play, "Millworker."
The performers<br>
are all members of the original cast. Bland will discuss the
play and<br>
offer historical commentary to accompany the performance. The
Bynum<br>
General Store offers a particularly poetic setting for this event
since<br>
Bland's play partly draws upon stories she heard from former Bynum<br>
millworkers and close friends when she lived in Bynum several
years<br>
ago. The play has met with stellar reviews and has repeatedly
sold out<br>
performances. The Raleigh N&O named it one of the 10 best
theatre<br>
events of 2003.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Again, we need all the HELP we can muster with spreading the word
about</div>
<div>these events. So, bring everyone you know and/or tell
everyone you</div>
<div>know.</div>
<div><br>
Thanks so much for your continued support of the Bynum Community,
the</div>
<div>Bynum Music Series, and this wonderful area in which we are so
blessed</div>
<div>to live.</div>
<div><br>
All the best,</div>
