| I just found out today that my papaw, William Burns, from Habersham, TN (Rich Mountain) used to play with the Delmore Brothers on the Opry. He passed away in 1940. Can you tell me anything about him? Any history? | |||

Hey, Delmore cousins! Looking forward to seeing all of you again in a couple of weeks! Makes me think of all our folks gone on and the wonderful heritage of music that began with Grandpa Will Williams and Aunt Molly Delmore - to their kids - and then on down to us and our kids! Wonderful memories of precious days gone by! Joan (Jake's girl)! |

| My father (Glin Christopher) and Uncle Theathus Christopher have been die hard fans of the delmore bros since the 30's when they saw them at Sulfur Wells in the old 23rd in Henry County/Benton Co TN. The area is now underwater when Ky Lake was formed. I will be bringing my Uncle to the festival. My father is gone but my uncle is 89 and have played the music, lick by lick, their entire lives. I have taken the old recordings of my father and Uncle and made them into a CD because it brings me great joy . They traveled the state always looking for the Delmore family members or anyone that recalled the music to share their interest. It is with great and long awaited pleasure that this festival will honor the Delmore Brothers. Thanks | |||

| The music here is great. I also recommend you enjoy the Limestone County Tourism webpage for June 08 and read the "Glimpse of Delmore Brothers" written by Alton's Daughter Norma. | |||

Oh, what a wonderful and long overdue tribute to two of our own! Not only did Alton and Rabon leave an outstanding impact on Americana music, they also left the legacy of a fine family. |

| LIving in athens I was unaware of the Delmore brthers.Maybe only being 34 may have something to do with it. I'm a big fan of Bluegrass so I hope we all have a wonderful time. | |||
