Juliette Opry Offers Bluegrass, Country April 7th

Submitted by Opry on Tuesday, April 3rd, 5:21 pm

My favorite thing in the spring is picking on the porch at Juliette Opry. Now I'm not that great a player, in fact, I'm kinda a background guy .

I can't play the lightning breaks or cheerful melodies, if somebody ever said wow about my mandolin playing, it wasn't a good thing , I'm pretty sure.

So why, why do I go? Three things come to mind, or people that is: Sam Whaley, Paul Heath and Bryant Legette.

April is National Poetry Month and we're looking for your original poems at the bookstore in Downtown Gray.

With your approval, we'll be publishing original poems on Kema's Bookstore facebook page.

All ages are invited to submit your poetry, so we can share your thoughts and ideas.

Jean Wooten, a resident at Lynn Haven Health & Rehabilitation, is one of our very talented local poets and has submitted several poems in this year's national poetry recognition. Several of our local Jones County teens have also submitted poetry.
