mine since early childhood. I served as president and newsletter editor for the Illinois Country Music Association, Inc. for several years, retiring in 2015, and I have won international awards for bluegrass music from the North American Country Music Associations, Int'l. I still do programs for nursing homes and other senior's groups and still attend jam sessions whenever possible. I am a longtime member of the Cowboy Church band which meets at the First Christian Church in Farmer City every Sunday evening from September through June, with a few Sundays off during the summer.
