High Ryder

Description

This weekend we return for the Dawson Homecoming. Lots of bands scheduled for Saturday. We'll cap off the day's musical entertainment playing from 7:00 PM til around 9:30 PM when the fireworks are schedule to go off. Hope to see you there. Roy is still proud as punch over his recent performance at his granddaughters chorus recital. Her choral group sang some great country standards with Roy accompanying on guitar. They performed several concerts during the day for other students and one at night for parents and guests. He still claims it was the highlight of his musical career. What sets the High Ryder band apart from other bands? Well, we're not pretty (obviously) and we're not young (unfortunately). We don't have screaming teenagers hanging on our every word. We don't put on fancy stage shows (Roy refuses to climb on anything while he plays the fiddle.) We're not into pyrotechnics or laser shows. We don't blast out eardrums with super-powerful electronic gear. What we do offer is music, resulting from a combined experience of more than 200 years. While most of our contemporaries have retired and quit the music business, we plug away, looking for that audience appreciation of the music we bring with us. We're definitely not in it for the money. Dreams of stardom and worldwide fame faded away with the start of families and non-musical careers. As long as the audiences like what we're doing - we'll keep doing it. ...
