Featuring three of western Montana’s premier bluegrass musicians, playing predominantly original material in the “Acoustic Americana” vein showcasing their fine pickin’ and innovative songwriting............. RICHIE REINHOLDT - Guitar, Mandolin, Bass, Lead & Harmony Vocals. Richie has been a professional musician for nearly 40 years.

His most recent recordings are “Talk to the Paw” (2005), “Lies of Love” (2006), "Glory Days" (2007) and "Manic Heart" (2008) and the new release, "The Sound of Her Smile" (2009). Richie is the main singer & songwriter for the group. If you watch carefully, his fingers never leave his hand.........CHAD FADELY - Mandolin. Chad’s tasteful solos have made him one of Western Montana’s most in-demand mandolin players. Currently Chad plays in several bands including "Pinegrass and Leftover Biscuits, and was a founding member of the well known Missoula based band, Long Overdue. Chad’s original tunes can be found on his two recordings; “Mandolin Escapes” (2005) and “The Backroom” (2007)........BRUCE THRELKELD - Acoustic bass, Harmony Vocals. Bruce’s roots can be traced to coffee shops and bars in Florida where he played guitar, and then Texas . In the latter half of that decade, along with Rick Taylor, he drummed and sang with the Atlanta-based band Right as Rain. This band had a successful multi-year run on the “college circuit,” recording two CD’s for the independent label, DB records. He moved to Missoula, Montana, in 1997 and began playing in the Cory Heydon Band, he also began live and studio drum duties over the next 5 years for the Tom Catmull Band, John Floridis, Bob Wire, Richie Reinholdt, Greg Leake, The Kent Curtiss Band, and The Country Kings. He currently plays with several Montana bands including The Bop-a-dips, John Floridis (and his band, Burning River), The Country Kings, Quartet Caribe, and, most recently, The Acousticals.

As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.

“My Desire.” Part 2. “Touch.”
“Through the woodland glade You appeared, a personification, of everything beautifully feminine A glorious Goddess, man made, but designed with Heavenly grace. You smiled and walked towards me. Kissed me with your sensual, soft, succulent lips Ran your finger tips down my back and up my spine The scent of your body was unique A magnificent fragrance of female hormones With a faint touch of honeysuckle, cinnamon and patchouli I would never forget this moment in time Your skin had the exquisite texture of warmed porcelain Your eyes, your hair, where passion would not dare to go I touched you You pushed me back. ”No”. I was yours and if you were mine It would be on your terms in your time. You danced with me You danced for me A pirouette that twirled us to the floor. You sat astride me, caressed me, undressed me Consumed me, I had never felt like this before. The way you moved on me was ecstasy The perfect rhythm and I never wanted to let this go. You played me like a guitar, every passionate note A crescendo of the flamenco. You whispered “I wanted you from the very first moment you looked at me. I burn for you and the power of my love is like a raging sea. We’ve only just begun. This time you’re mine. Your turn will come.”

Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
