Christmas in Richmond






After the fun in Virginia Beach and Hampton, Susan and I headed for Richmond. My sweet sister, Carolyn Faye and my Brother-in-Law, Jim told us that they wanted us to go to the Legend Beer Brewery on the James River to meet some friends and see Marsha and Archer's daughter Jessie's Band called "A Good Natured Riot" play. (www.agoodnaturedriot.com) We all remembered Jessie as a little 6 year old with white hair, running around the campfire while Archer played his "claw-hammer style banjo" or his wonderful fiddle tunes. Well, Jessie has grown up - went to VCU and majored in Music - and voila: got a hot pickin band together! Jaybird, Billy Rice, and Frankie joined us as we drank Legend's best ale and listened to some of the best Bluegrass in Virginia.
