SUMMARY:Steve “Piano Man” Whiddon With Angie Toomey
DESCRIPTION:Steve began playing piano at age 3 and there has been some slight improvement. After high school he performed in clubs\, restaurants\, honky tonk bars\, and anywhere else he could play for food\, tips\, drinks\, and various other  assorted methods of payment. He was even the organist for the Detroit Tigers for spring training games in the early and mid 90’s and never once caught a foul ball.\nHe later discovered that country clubs would trade meals and free golf in exchange for his musical services. Aha! Life was good! His waistline expanded but his golf game\nremained lousy.\nSomehow he found time to use what was left of his fragile brain to write some songs and then some more songs. Some rock\, some country\, and some nobody has figured out yet.\nIn 2001 Steve met Dave Magill\, a producer\, musician\, and studio wizard. The two hit it off immediately and started recording Steve’s songs in Dave’s studio. They continue to work together on many different projects.\nSteve lives in Maggie Valley\, North Carolina where he fishes\, hikes\, and loves the Smoky Mountains. His golf game remains the same.\n\nJoin us for an evening of live music with Steve on Thursday\, September 8 at 5:30 PM! It’s a free event\, with BBQ dinner available for $12. Cash bar is available as well. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:Part VI Of heritage Book Series – Free for Guests and Members
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Bob and Jacob Plott’s book—Smoky Mountain Railways –A History of the WNCRR\, Murphy Branch and GSMR with Bob and Jacob Plott. \nJoin us for yet another fun\, informative and entertaining afternoon and evening of history\, food and music in Part VI of Heritage Book Series\, as award winning author and MSMHC GM\, Bob Plott\, teams with his son\, and co-author\, Jacob Plott\, to discuss their book\, Smoky Mountain Railways. \nBy 1869 railroads connected the United States from coast to coast\, yet the Great Smoky Mountains remained commercially remote and inaccessible with no outside railway service until construction began on the WNCRR in Old Fort\, N.C. in 1871. \nEven then\, it would take another 20 years before convict labor finally carved a 128-mile route to Murphy\, N.C.\, thus completely opening the region to commercial and personal expansion that few could comprehend –but all appreciated. \nTrain service literally transformed the region\, but it came at a terrible cost\, with literally hundreds of convicts tragically dying in the process. After great early success\, the railway line eventually fell into disarray by the 1960s\, before later being resurrected as an incredibly successful tourist railway—the GSMR. \nThe history of this line is a story like no other. It’s a tale filled with tragedy\, heroism\, blood\, sweat\, tears\, humor and nitroglycerin. Local authors Jacob Morgan Plott and Bob Plott tell the story of a line that refused to die. \nThe program will be followed by a book signing and delicious BBQ dinner\, culminating with acoustic music by Mike Ogletree and friends that evening. \nThe event is free to motel guests and Heritage Club members—there is an admission charge of ten dollars per person for all others.

SUMMARY:Len Graham
DESCRIPTION:Len Graham began his career in Newport Rhode Island in 1979 as a singer with the acoustic duo “Euphoria” he later became the manager for the critically acclaimed singer Natalie Merchant of “10\,000 Maniacs”. Ever restless\, one day Len sold his MG spitfire and fled to the Rocky Mountain National Park where he hunkered down with his songwriting craft and joined the ever-popular band “Load Limit”. Back to Connecticut where he and step-brother John Noble formed “Graham Noble”\, a band that would join Toy Caldwell and the “Marshall Tucker Band” during their 1985 tour. After that Len went solo and “Lenny Graham and the Phoenix” would release an EP and be touted by many a record label. He did eventually sign with an independent label in 1987. \nLater that year an appearance on “You Can Be a Star”\, the first of many a talent show to come\, would put him in touch with the Nashville music scene. On to Michigan and a second meeting with drummer Kenny Aronoff\, who at the time was with John Cougar Mellencamp\, helped him inch closer to realizing his dream. Then with everything in place including management teams on both coasts and after an appearance at the infamous “Bluebird Cafe” in Nashville and a chance encounter with David Olney who was later known as the grandfather of Americana music\, Len just walked away. \nHe kept on honing his craft and releasing his music through his publishing company “Summer Boy Music”. With songs from his double album “Chronicles” now streaming all throughout Europe and America\, Len is now content to be retired and nestled here in the Smoky Mountains with the trio “Smoky Blue Rain” Come and enjoy some songs and many a story from our now native son\,\nLen Graham. \n \n
