Here’s a reminder of something special and definitely worthwhile — and something BluegrassJournal.com wholeheartedly endorses. The Friends of Eddie and Martha Adcock are hosting a benefit show at the Station Inn in Nashville, Tenn., Sunday (Oct. 25).

The event, carrying a suggested $20 donation at the door, starts at 7 p.m.

“I think my favorite Christmas memory would simply be a composite of all my childhood Christmases in South Carolina. I remember them all as being wonderful. (…Even though I never did get that pony…)

The Station Inn’s ninth annual Christmas Bluegrass Benefit Concert for the Homeless will begin at 7 p.m. Dec. 14.

A long list of performers has already signed up to donate their time to the benefit, according to Eddie and Martha Adcock, who have been among prime organizers of the event in past years. Other coordinators are Gene Johnson, mandolinist for Diamond Rio; and Donna Sonner.
