The American Cancer Society Relay for Life

DBA member volunteers put on a Bluegrass Jam at the Pusch Ridge Christian Academy early Sunday morning (4/17/05 7:30 AM) to entertain those walking on behalf of a loved one or friend.

Here is Carlos Rangel shortly after sunrise directing the DBA jammers to the performance location. Notice the elongated shadow to his right. The hot air balloon in the background was offering tethered rides for $5.00 donations.

If you look closely on the left center section of the photo you can see me waving from the performance area located in front of the left side of the bleachers (don't strain your eyes, I'm kidding, I was swatting at a gnat).

Bill De Vinney from West-By-God-Virginia steps up to the stadium mic and belts out a spirited bluegrass gospel tune for all the early morning listeners.

Don moves into center stage to offer some melodic banjo licks to kick a popular bluegrass song into over-drive; well received by those volunteers who had been walking through the night.

The DBA lineup: Don, Bill, Rufus, Georgia, Sam, Natalie, Natasha, Joy, Thelma, and Carlos.
