The Rock Creek Opry Band

NOTE: THIS BAND IS NO LONGER ACTIVE SINCE THE ROCK CREEK OPRY PLACE HAS CLOSED ITS DOORS! SEE THE "BLOG" PAGE FOR MORE INFO.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The standard members consist of Ron Duncan, Eddy Ray, Jerry Sams, Bob Van Horn and myself. Other steady pickers who contribute a lot of music each week or frequently, are: Big Ron Lewis, Warren Shelton, Big Ed Dance, Jim Woods, Ken Williams, Jeffrey Lewis, Alice Hensley, Gary Taylor, Roger Messer, Terry Tester, Gordon Hoyle, (Bill Fernald when in town), Junior and several others who I don't know their names.

The weekly jam is provided free-of-charge by our host, Robert Crigger of Nashville fame, having played with Jeannie Sheppard and Bobby Baer for many years. Robert is a kind, sincere gentleman and we are all very touched by his generous spirit.

Please make every effort you can to attend this function on Sunday afternoons from around 1:30 - 5:30. Your participation will ensure the jam's continuation. We've been experiencing dwindling numbers lately, which could potentially spell disaster for this jam. Hope to see you there.
