1st Annual Gary Williams Memorial Dinner
The first annual Gary
Williams Memorial Dinner took place January 31st at the Ellendale Community
Center. Some 300+ MABA members, families, and guests attended the potluck.
Everyone enjoyed performances from the MABA member bands Slow Jam, Brush Arbor,
Minor Street Pickers, Ghost River, Gone South, Goin'Home, special guest Gary
Johnson, and the back hall jams.
Special awards for outstanding contributions to MABA were presented to Peter
Smith, Jim Phillips, Larry Bomar, Tom Stone, and Candice Windham. The
first "Gary" awards were presented to James Johnson, Wayne Morris and
Ed Fleener, for their efforts in 2004.
The annual event was renamed this year in honor of our co-founder Gary Williams
who, with Peter Smith, made a vision a reality.
