Songwriters Festival Guest give Henderson KY a outstanding review

August 11, 2013

jimrungeeLast week we were proud to have Dr. James L. Rungee as our guest during the Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters Festival.  Dr. Rungee is an avid Bluegrass fan and bass fiddle, banjo, guitar and harmonica musician.   He had nothing but outstanding remarks about being in Henderson KY.  He called Henderson Kentucky his “home away from home”.  We hope to have Dr. Rungee and his friends with us for many years to come for the Songwriters Festival.  For 2014 he has already reserved the whole house.

Below is a reprint from The Gleaner Opinion Page article that appeared Saturday, August 10, 2013.

Henderson Made Visitors Feel At Home 

I have just returned from what can only be described as a magical week in Henderson, getting to learn about, listen to and converse with some of Music City’s royalty as part of the Sandy Lee Watkins Songwriters Festival. This was my first visit, but won’t be my last!

What wonderful ambassadors your town has in Mary Elizabeth and Norris Priest of the L&N Bed and Breakfast. A more welcoming and cordial couple you won’t find anywhere (if you haven’t experienced breakfast and magic with Norris, you’re missing out!). A shout out to Taunee and her smile at Stay Fit 24, who wouldn’t hear of charging me anything for the two days I used the superbly equipped exercise facility there. And also to Aaron, Cailee and Emily at CKB, whose smiles and warm conversation made it impossible not to return over and over there to eat from the restaurant’s superb menu. The chef there definitely has his kitchen switched to game on (and is why I had to go to Stay Fit 24)!

I know I speak for every festival attendee when I say this is one of the best tickets around!

I commented to someone after the first early session on Wednesday night that I couldn’t recall ever having seen more talent in one room at one time, a comment I would find myself repeating over and over with each session. The venues were all wonderful. The sound engineers did an over-the-top job.

I ate way too much popcorn at Rookies, and the intimate in-the-round setting at Delizio’s really made one feel as if they were sitting in one of the writer’s living rooms watching a song-jousting match with a bunch of his or her buddies!

Little did I realize last Wednesday as I pulled away from my house in Tennessee en route to Henderson that I was headed home.

No, I have never been to Henderson nor do I have kin there. But from the neighborly hellos and waves from folks in the downtown streets, to the friendly servers, bartenders and store owners in every downtown establishment that I patronized, to just random town residents expressing genuine concern that I was finding everything and confirming I had all I needed, I could not have been made to feel more like family!

This event is indeed worthy of at least equal billing as the established blues and bluegrass festivals hosted by Henderson. With loyal sons and daughters like Kerry Kurt Phillips and Susie Watkins, the festival’s destiny is certain and clear and could not better honor it’s namesake’s legacy. I was not surprised when I looked up home in the dictionary and found:

home [hohm] noun

1. A house, apartment, or other shelter that is the usual residence of a person, family, or household.

2. The place in which one’s domestic affections are centered.

3. 42420

Thanks to a wonderful town for a GREAT week. I plan to be back next year if not sooner!

Jim Rungee is a resident of Murfreesboro, Tenn.

Norris and His Bow Tie Collection

October 26, 2012

Mountain Workshops were in town last week and really made an impact on our community.

The collection of photographs and multimedia stories that they created about the lives of Henderson Kentucky people were absolutely incredible.

Below is a picture of Norris and his Bow Tie collection.  The photo by Mountain Workshops participant and photojournalist Katherine McLean.

Here caption for the picture was:

Norris Priest displays a passion for life. “I have no complaints, honey,” he says. “I’ve been blessed with a wonderful life.” Norris owns more than 100 bow ties and has worn one everyday since high school graduation, he says. “It’s a gentleman who wears a bow tie,” he says. “Not a day goes by someone doesn’t comment on it. I guess it’s the entertainer in me that enjoys the attention.” In his free time, Norris rides his bike around downtown Henderson, often stopping to perform magic tricks.

Be sure to see all the stories created by Mountain Workshops time in Henderson KY and the multimedia presentation below.

Jack and Dotty Haskins: A 1932 Ford Coupe and 50 Years of Marriage

October 1, 2012

Jack and Dotty Haskins of Cincinnati Ohio spent the past weekend here at the L&N Bed and Breakfast completing a 20 day tour of Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and Kentucky celebrating their 50th Wedding Anniversary in their orginal 1932 Ford Coupe.

What made this so interesting is that 50 years ago when they got married they spent their honeymoon touring the same places they did on their anniversary in the same 1932 Ford Coupe.

The were just having a great time touring in their 1932 Ford Coupe.

We were proud that they included the L&N Bed and Breakfast on their anniversary.

How can we help you celebrate a special occasion in your life?

Bluegrass Weekend 2012

August 15, 2012

Some pictures from our guest this past weekend.  We were glad to host several attending the Bluegrass in the Park Festival in Henderson KY.  We were sold out this weekend and Mary Elizabeth had a big birthday on Saturday (August 11).

Carl and Jodi Sellmyer of Bloomington, IL had this to say about their stay.

My wife and I had the good fortune to attend the Bluegrass In The Park Festival in Henderson this past weekend.  We simply could not have had a better time.  From the Thursday Del McCoury concert through the Friday and Saturday riverfront festival the air was filled with music.  It was a really rich experience for us to enjoy all of the top quality music and to actually meet and visit with many of the performers.  The festival volunteers were well organized and deserve the community’s thanks and respect for all their hard work.  The Saturday breakfast was very good and I know that takes a lot of effort too.  The food from the vendors was also very good.  We appreciate all the improvements which have been done to the city and the riverfront.   We stayed at the L&N Bed and Breakfast.  Our hosts Norris and Mary Elizabeth Priest treated us like royalty.  Everyone we met treated us as a friend and it really made our visit special.  We offer your community a very sincere thanks!
