Tommy Carroll At The Pickin' Porch
Click photo to enlarge
Every Thursday evening at 7:00 pm, the
Appalachian Cultural Music Association presents
The Pickin'
Porch Show, a live
Bluegrass music show
featuring one or more of the many fantastic Bluegrass bands that
call the
Birthplace of Country Music region home. And every week, Tommy
Carroll is there helping host
Tim White and
the gang keep the show running smoothly and everyone
well-entertained.
Tommy has several regular "duties" at the Pickin' Porch. For
example, when Tim does a "spot" for loyal sponsor Chick-fil-A
Restaurant,
Tommy stands up, faces the audience, and yells the following words
in a booming voice that must surely be heard in several neighboring
states: "Cow eat more chicken!". For many in the Pickin'
Porch audience, hearing Tommy's Chick-fil-A bit is just as much
fun as listening to the great music!
Of course Tommy stays busy with other tasks as well, such as
checking the microphone before every show, handing out flyers for
upcoming events, drawing the winning tickets whenever something is
raffled off...and enthusiastically yelling out requests to the bands from his front row
rocking chair! When it comes right down to it, I guess you could say
that Tommy is the busiest guy at the Pickin' Porch - and he
does it all in exchange for nothing more than an evening of fun and
entertainment.
Cheria and I have been regular visitors to the Pickin' Porch
shows for several years now, and Tommy Carroll was already a fixture
there when we began. And with any luck, he'll be helping out Tim and
Chick-fil-A for many years to come!
