Main Street Artist Series: Ramblin' Ron Boone

This week's featured artist at the Main Street Farmers Market was Ron Boone, known as Ramblin' Ron to his fans. Ron specializes in folk style music and plays both the guitar and the banjo. We're featuring a few choices of him on the latter instrument.

Ron's performance of 'Greenland Whales Fishery' tells the story of fishermen on an Ahab-inspired journey. Following that we have 'Nine Hundred Miles'. Finally, Ron's quick rendition of 'Lonesome Traveler' which he used simply to warm up (but I thought it was pretty good and worth sharing anyway).

Also, the O-R will be debuting a new feature for our online readers tomorrow. This new addition to our website is called O-RFlix and it allows you to submit photos AND videos to us and in turn see them displayed on our pages. In a way, this will allow our readers to become a part of the journalistic process. Check it out tomorrow!
