Title: Banjo pickin' Neighbor
Post by: Charlemagne 8 on January 22, 2005, 06:33:19 pm

My neighbor from across the street is playing at this moment in your fine city of Minneapolis on "The Prairie Home Companion" with Rhonda Vincent.
I always thought that "The Amazing Kenny Ingram" was a bus driver.

He's the one on the upper right.

Rhonda Vincent - that's big time country !  You live next door to a bluegrass star because no matter how big the front person, it's  the band makes them shine all the brighter!!   
   
Here's an exerpt from her Bio on her official website:

"Titles are nothing new to Vincent. She held the IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) title of “Entertainer of the Year” in 2001, the “Female Vocalist of the Year” for five years, is a 2004 Grammy winner, and multiple winner of honors from bluegrass societies nationwide. She was most proud when the Wall Street Journal called her the “Queen of Bluegrass."

Yep. She's good. I saw her on "Down From the Mountain".
Kenny ain't no slouch. He was the guy that took the place of Earl Scruggs when he and Lester Flatt broke up. That's some very big shoes to fill.
