Happy Birthday Jesus - Gary & Carol Bibb (and family)
As the Christmas Season approaches let us be reminded that there is a reason to celebrate the birth of Jesus the King of Kings. May we place our arms around the wounded and broken hearted. Let us go down to the valley of despair and bring the good news of Christmas to the people. Unto Jesus we must feed the poor and help the orphans and widows.
As we gather with our family may our love and prayers be with those families who have loved ones far away serving our country, who have lost loved ones and those who's family is without work or adequate income.
We thank the Lord for all of our family and friends. We are thankful for the DJs who play our music and those who listen. Thanks to Andrew and Terri Dean at Nite*Sky, Rhonnie at RhonBob Promotions and Wayne Graham at One on One Ministries for faith in our songs. A special thanks to our family Larry, Kimberly, Katie and Jonathan Marrs and our extended family, Larry's sister and daughters, Lou Ann, Aubrie, Jordan and Alecia Johnson for their heavenly choir voices added to our song. Thanks to our bango guy {mighty man of God} John Swaim. Thanks Larry Marrs of Marrs Recording Studio. In a big Christmas package of "thank you" we sing HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS, it's all about Him.

Help Me Put This Fire Out - Kimberly Bibb-Marrs & Larry Marrs
Songwriter: Don Schlundt [BMI] donschlundt@cox.net
Kimberly grew up in Maryland Heights Missouri. Her Grandpa Jewel Bibb taught her how to play fiddle at 9 years old. She soon started competing in fiddle contests around the region. One of the contests was judged by Kenny Baker and Josh Graves who gave her first place. She was very successful at winning most of the fiddling contests. Her parents literally had a room full of trophies and plaques when she was a kid. At age 11 she won the Nashville Talent Search held in Brazil Indiana. The outcome of that was a 45 single with Bunky Keels on Piano, D. J. Fontana on drums (Elvis' first drummer), Bruce Watkins on guitar, who now plays on all Alan Jackson’s hits, and Duke Dumas on bass. The single charted at its peak at number 18 in Billboard, called “Country Fever” (A-side) and “Grandpas Fiddle And Bow“ (B-side). They performed as Kimberly Dawn and The Bibb Family Band, which were Gary and Carol Bibb, Jewel Bibb- Grandpa- Uncle Mark Bibb, Tammy Bibb now Camenzind, also Tom, Danny, Joe, Gene, Wayne, and the great Bobby Minner, who works with Tim McGraw. Kimberly was also playing with a local bluegrass group called Joe Rapisardo and Country Side Grass, which played bluegrass festivals in Mo. , IL. , Iowa, and elsewhere. While with this group she received a SPGMA award for fiddle.

Christmas Letter - Trish Lester
An award-winning singer/songwriter from Southern California, Trish Lester cooks up truly fresh Americana music from the wisdom of life experience, often spicing it with satire or humor. Her songs leave a lasting impression on young and old alike, with crystal clear lyrics and unforgettable melodies. The title track on Trish’s CD, Plymouth Belvedere, has played on National Public Radio (NPR) and her song, “Thank a Soldier” graces the home pages of several patriotic Websites.
When Trish was only four years old, her parents noticed she was picking out tunes on the piano (with both hands!). Five years of piano and theory lessons coupled with school choral groups helped strengthen her abilities. In college, she taught herself to play guitar, as the folk era was in full bloom, and she studied with the late Bud Dashiell, of Bud & Travis fame. Upon graduation from UCLA, Trish worked for the US Army in South Korea, where she met two other folk singers. They formed a trio and performed for troops at numerous military installations.
Casually singing and writing songs throughout her adult life, Trish turned a corner with her music after the tragedy of September 11, 2001, and the death of several family members. At that time she forged a new career, tapping into her music DNA and coupling it with many years of writing experience and a well-honed sense of rhythm and rhyme. Friends and fans find her style reminiscent of John Denver and Mary Chapin Carpenter, and often remark, “Listening to Trish is like hearing from a long lost friend.”

There's Got To Be A Time - Fred Leonard
In August 2006 Fred Leonard of Harrison, Ohio, received news that no one wants to hear. He was diagnosed with a grade III malignant brain tumor. Fred was placed on a regimen of chemotherapy and radiation and finished his treatments in March of 2007.
Does that tell you all you need to know about Fred Leonard? – Hardly! Fred may be dealing with the most difficult thing he has ever had to deal with in his life but there is a whole lot more to him than cancer. The “whole lot more” is the reason why we was willing to share his story with the NFCR and those, like him, who want to see the suffering caused by cancer eliminated.
Fred, like everyone else, wants to be able to go on with the people and passions that bring him joy and which really define him. In Fred Leonard’s case, the important people in his life are his wife Becky, daughters Paula and Emily and sons Brian and Joey. They have always been supportive of his life’s main passion which is the country and bluegrass music he composes, sings and records and which he has shared with countless other musicians and enthusiasts on the radio and in live venues for many years.
“I’ve never topped the charts, but if my music can be put to a new use to fuel the continuing search for the answers to cancer, this will give my music an impact I never dreamed it could have,” says Fred. So a portion of the proceeds from sales of Fred’s latest CD “In My Own Words” will now go to support NFCR’s cancer research programs.
Your support will help keep Fred with his family, continuing to make the music that is most expressive and enjoyable for him and for so many others.
