Rory Block:
Four Time W.C. Handy Award Winner.
Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. I want to say a very special thank you to all the wonderful people who write to us about the site, the shows, and about their own profound personal experiences. Please know that without you, good friends, fans and web surfers, there could be no career, just pickin' and singin' on the porch (which ain't half bad in itself as that is where all good music started).
I was born in Princeton NJ in 1949 and spent the beginning of my life in a small wood house with no plumbing, hidden deep in the woods on a hillside in Neshanic. At the time, nothing but endless farms stretched across the land as far as the eye could see. Penniless but idealistic, my parents toughed it out, boiling diapers on the stove and hauling water from the old hand well in the yard. At the age of 18, Eleanor Jean Keller married Allan Block, a young intellectual who, after winning a national literary award in college and raising his parents hopes, ran away from his midwestern upbringing to live the bohemian life in the new land of freedom, the East Coast. Setting aside her dreams of becoming a singer and a painter, Jean had her first child when she was nineteen, a daughter, named Mona. The second child, Aurora ('Rory'), came less than a year later ...

1. bill cooley
Bill Cooley Music is an opportunity to learn more about one of Nashville's most talented lead guitarist...Not that he'd tell you that.
Category:
From jazz guitar legend to soul-pop vocalist extraordinaire, 8-time Grammy® winner George Benson has cultivated an international fan base as well as tremendous critical acclaim for three things: incomparable versatility, first-class execution in all he does and, perhaps most importantly, for never being predictable. These are the qualities that have made the man a one-of-a-kind giant in the universe of music, thus lending a fitting ring to the title of his fourth album for GRP/Verve, Irreplaceable. It is an emotional gemstone of seemingly effortless consistency for the superstar who has been dominating the worlds of smooth jazz and NAC radio. Irreplaceable marks a directional shift back to silky sexy soul music…with a decidedly contemporary urban edge....

4. adrian legg
Impossible to categorize as a player, Adrian Legg incorporates virtually every genre on his guitar in a virtuosic instrumental style with effects. He brought electric approaches to acoustic playing, creating a modern cross-over amalgamation in the tradition of eclectic folk playing that goes back to the 1960s."

5. tony rice
Tony Rice has long been one of bluegrass’s best-loved guitarists. From his
stint with JD Crowe’s New South and the David Grisman Quintet, to his solo albums and those with the Tony Rice Unit,
the Rice Brothers, and Rice, Rice, Hillman & Pedersen, he has created a body of work that is at once progressive and
grounded in tradition. His unmistakable approach to flat-picking - fluid, economical, and always inventive - redefined
the guitar’s role in bluegrass. Beyond that, his timing, good taste, and sophisticated harmonic palette unveiled a new
avenue of acoustic music: a subtle fusion of bluegrass, jazz, and folk music that he deems 'spacegrass.'
