Nestled in the middle of 'bluegrass' country (Ohio County, KY ) was the community of No Creek! It was where my great, great, great grandfather settled years ago! My grandfather went to school at the No Creek school (I have his 1st grade picture dated 1903), & my great aunts went to the other No Creek school - as well! You can look, but I don't think you'll find it on very many maps! The population of Centertown, KY (where Mom grew up) has only grown 100 people in 50 years! Now, the population is over 400! I met Bill Monroe at the age of 8 at my grandfather's church revival service, was 'hooked' on that type of music ever since, started playing guitar when I was 13, & still do! I have my own Christian radio show, starting my own 'publishing' company, & have been performing, singing, & trying to earn gas money ever since I was 15! Still am trying!! Hope you enjoy what you hear! The vocalists on some of the songs is NOT me - due to a stroke in 2000, I have become a lyricist, & have had the pleasure of co-writing, & collaborating with people from 1/2 way around the world! I have received numerous awards, am a published songwriter, & welcome the opportunity to co-write with others! Drop me a line - if interested! Ray Withrow, President of No Creek Music (ASCAP)
