Dex will be no stranger to most, having spent fourteen years with Super Grit co-founder Bill Lyerly in the Bill Lyerly Band. Since Bill disbanded and moved to Spain, Dex has been working with the popular Night Prowler band. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and we are excited about getting to play music with him, since he is thoroughly familiar with the Super Grit style. Visit Dex\'s website at <A href=\"http:\/\/www.dexterhorton.com\">www.dexterhorton.com<\/A> to learn more about his impressive credentials.<\/P>\n<P>It wasn\'t our music that stunk so bad!! On August 1, we played a wedding reception in rural Warren county. It was a wonderful setting under an open air pavilion surrounded by wood and fields. Everything was going just beautifully till a skunk decided he\'d had enough rock & roll and let loose. Don\'t pet the black & white kitty!<\/P>\n<P>Over Labor Day week, Clyde journeyed to Ireland to play with the Malpass Brothers at the Ulster American Music Festival. He was honored to be asked to be a panelist on the McCauley Lecture Series, dealing with traditional American country music. The lecture was conducted by renowned music critic, Jack Bernhardt.<\/P>\n<P>ATTENTION FACEBOOK MEMBERS: Are you aware that there is a \"Fans of the Super Grit Cowboy Band\" site on Facebook? This is the work of our long time friend Allen Crowder and there is some pretty lively discussion and reminiscing going on over there, as well as connecting with some long lost friends. Check it out! If you are not signed up on Facebook, this is a good reason.<\/P>\n<P>Our undying gratitude to Timmy Biggs who saved our butts the weekend of July<BR>9-11.&nbsp; We were having too much fun at Tar Heel Opry House and blew out half of<BR>our sound system.&nbsp; We still had to finish the weekend there and do Sunday in the<BR>Park in Greenville.&nbsp; Timmy graciously loaned us the gear to get the job done.<BR>Cliff Swanhart was in on the rescue as was our own Doug Bradshaw.&nbsp; These<BR>guys came thru at crunch time.&nbsp;<\/P>\n<P>And at Sunday in the Park on July 11 we had a huge crowd, they tell us a<BR>record for the season.&nbsp; Thanks to all who showed up to support us!<\/P>\n<P>&nbsp;<\/P>");
