Riley Plays with Willie

In other family music news, we just found out that our cousin Riley Baugus (our maternal grandmother was a Baugus) played on 12 songs on the new Willie Nelson CD, Country Music. Riley also did a little tour with Willie. We’re impressed! We love Willie. I saw him recently at Pier Six in Baltimore. He remains amazing.

Riley is also going to be at The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia, on September 2 with Tim Eriksen. They are opening for Cherryholmes. So, if you are in the neighborhood, stop by to listen. Riley is an exceptional banjo player, instrument builder, and singer of old-time Appalachian music. For more info about Riley, go to www.rileybaugus.com.
