Subject: Friday Nights at Charlie’s Barn
Charlie’s Barn is again, (still), ringing with the sounds of Country and Bluegrass music each and every Friday night from 7:00 PM till 9:00 PM.
The following are the bands scheduled for the next few weeks. These bands sometimes join the “regulars” onstage and sometimes just begin playing at 8:00 after the regulars give up the stage to the invited band.
May 1 – Rocky River Ramblers
May 8 – Flat Tire Bluegrass
May 15 – Charlie’s Regulars
May 22 – Lonesome Dove
Schedules are subject to change, as folks are strictly coming out on a volunteer basis to play. All are invited to come and enjoy the show, but if you’re a picker or singer or plinker, we sure would like you to step up on stage and show us what you got!
The regulars, if you want to call them that, are Ulys Cook, Ed Tillman, J. W. Parsons, David Gilmore, David McMeill, and Bruce Meacham. In addition often we have Lynel Davis, Barney Collins, Clyde Elkins, Joe Martin, Mike Mann, and “Roadside” Rusty McIntosh, of course. There are many others who come on occasion.
Charlie’s Barn is west of Pittsboro on Rt.64, about 4 or 5 miles. You would turn right on Buckner-Clark Road, which is right across the road from American Storage and the Progress Energy equipment yard. We will have a sign out by the road showing the way. Less than a mile up Buckner-Clark Road you make a left on Hillside Dairy Road, (again, there is a sign pointing the way.) keep going from the paved road to the gravel road, and the Barn is on your left. Parking is in the mowed areas on each side of the road, come in and make yourselves at home.
We had a wonderful turn-out last friday, but we missed seeing you! We do pass the hat each night for a love offering to help keep the lights on.
Ya’ll come see us sometime!

I attended my first Friday at Charlie’s Barn on 4/15/11. What a wonderful experience! Ulys was at his best as were the other musicians. Please try to come out and support this wonderful Friday night event. I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed!!
