Richard Powell playing bluegrass guitar...
Thank you for joining us today.
Welcome to "Plant Your Roots at the Library"
Brevard County's site & project for supporting local library content.
I'm your host, Nate Hosburgh
and today we are here with Richard Powell
a Brevard County musician
who has been invited many times
to play in the Brevard County Library System.
So, Richard: How did you get your start
playing in the public libraries?
Well, like all stories, it's a bit of a long one.
But, essentially a good friend of mine, Ray Dickinson
who runs the Cocoa Beach Public Library
and I believe he oversees some of the other libraries...
he had seen my band, "The Indian River Bluegrass Boys"
play on a number of occasions
and at various other places
and he simply approached us one time
and asked us if we'd love to.
Of course, where there's an audience, we'll go play
So, we went there
and found it to be one of the best
if not THE best venue we ever played at.
