On Friday evening, the Jackson Purchase Friends of Bluegrass (JPFOB)
organization held their monthly bluegrass concert at the KY Opry in
Draffenville. Between bands, a presentation of a mandolin was made as a
surprise to an upcoming mandolin student of Murray music instructor, Conny
Ottway. The JPFOB have a program where instruments that are no longer in
use may be donated to a young student who will further the bluegrass
tradition. In the past, there have been guitars, fiddles, banjos and
mandolins passed on to young students in this area. First grader, Jon
Waggoner, son of Seth and Kimberly Waggoner of Murray, received this
mandolin. Making the presentation are Tony Williams, president of the
JPFOB, and Conny Ottway.
