Buster Is Looking For More Remembrances ::

I think this is probably more of a guy type of thing though:


I'm looking for 'moonshine' stories which have a local lean.
Your ol' granddaddy may have had a select stash---- you might have had an uncle who would take a big gulp and chase it with the back of his hand-----you might have run across a still while you were once playing in the woods-- your uncles may have passed the bottle at a family gathering-mine did.
Jim Thornton, the father of Jimmy Thornton, told the story that when he was a youngster back in the 20's there was a blacksmith in Camden, who made 'shine in his downtown business and he would let the kids blow the bellast [sp.]
Hope you can help and if you are in contact w/ any other classmates or Camden friends, I would appreciate their stories.
Also, I had a good visit w/ Billy Sheorn this past Fri. and Billy Ammons and Ray Robinson and I are to go have lunch w/ James Williams soon. B.

February 8, 2010

Dear members of Camden High Alumni Association:

Tickets are on sale for the 2nd Annual Nashville Songwriter’s Night in our Performing Arts Center on Friday, March 5th. The performers will be our own Patrick Davis, Jason Michael Carroll, Whitney Duncan and a TBA special guest. The tickets can be purchased online at www.patrickdavismusic.com. Camden High should have some “hard-copy” tickets by next week in the Media Center. The doors open at 6 pm with the concert at 7 pm.

The general admission tickets are $15.00 and the VIP tickets are $30.00. The VIP tickets include a “Meet and Greet” with the artists before the concert and special seating in the Performing Arts Center. The Meet and Greet will be in the Media Center and there will be refreshments served.

The Nashville Songwriter’s Night is held as a fundraiser for the Roger Davis Memorial Scholarships which are awarded to CHS students. These scholarships can be renewed for four years as long as the recipients continue to meet the criteria. This is the second year for the scholarship program and it is possible, that by the fourth year, up to $20,000 will be needed annually to award new scholarships and renew the scholarships to previous winners.
