Music Department Fall Concert


Hi, guys! I am so excited to announce our Fall Concert. Being a member of the Calhoun Community College Guitar Ensemble is such an honor for me. The members are all such talented musicians. We have played for several civic organizations in Decatur, Alabama. I have played guitar to accompany myself when I perform and being a member of the ensemble has given me an opportunity to play along with others. We have a variety of guitars, acoustic, electric, classical, etc., in addition to the bass and mandolin. And, sometimes the ukulele! It all comes together so nicely under the direction of Emily Jones Davis. She is an awesome musician with a lovely voice. I have been blessed that we have worked up some of my original songs to perform and that I get to sing also! Such a wonderful experience! We do such a great variety of music!

I'm just bubbling over with excitement and wanted to share with everyone!

MaryJustice & The Pacemakers

God has started painting His beautiful landscapes with the brilliant colors of Autumn! So, take in this beauty with a drive along the winding country roads and enjoy the scenery on your way to Lynchburg, Tennessee to the BBQ Caboose! Meet us there Saturday, November 9th at 10:00 AM for a fun show with MaryJustice & The Pacemakers! This show is live but will be broadcast through radio station WLIJ 1580 AM out of Shelbyville, Tennessee, with Paul Jones, Radio Host of the "Old Time Country Radio Show."

Most of you who read this blog frequently, probably know all about me that you want to know. 

"MaryJustice has a passion for songwriting, and entertaining. Whether considered Pop, Indie or New Country, her songs appeal to teens as well as older music lovers. A multi-award winning singer and songwriter from Huntsville, Alabama, MaryJustice has performed regularly in North Alabama and Nashville since she was 14. She has recorded demos and harmonies for other songwriters."

There is more but that's enough about me for right now!

Jerry Mungle describes himself as “just a good ole boy from Tennessee who grew up in his Dad's feed store in Hartsville, Tennessee, where they played cards and country music. Jerry writes a lot of comedy parodies, some political, but he is always fair and balanced and writes about left and right and right and wrong. A delight to hear and watch as he entertains with that boyish grin and twinkle in his eyes. He also has a serious side and his renditions of good old-time gospel brings back childhood memories of good old country churches and dinner on the ground.



Earl Watts was born in Wheeler Texas. He lived in Pampa Texas until the age of nine. His father became a preacher and moved the family to the little town of Daylight Tennessee just outside McMinnville where he bought a tent for tent revivals and the family moved around a lot after that doing God’s work or as Earl likes to call it “Saving souls and damming sinners”. The revivals would usually move on to another location after a couple of weeks. During those times he was exposed to a lot of gospel music which he still loves to this day. It was during those days he also learned a few chords on his father’s old Kay guitar. Those days taught him a lot about human behavior and left him with a lot to draw on for song writing. Earl is laid back and is quite the philosopher!

Although Jerry and Earl are solo entertainers they frequently join as “Two Old Men & Some Songs.” Two Old Men & Some Songs is just that … Two old men who love to write songs, sing songs and play guitar. Both are successful business men. Jerry is a realtor and Earl manufactures specialized parts for industrial doors and windows. Sometimes their businesses get in the way of their hobby of entertaining with their music and stories of the inspiration behind each song.

So, being the deep thinker and comedian , Jerry held a Facebook contest to name our first show together. The hands-down winner was fellow songwriter, Larry Cole who suggested "MaryJustice and The Pacemakers" so I suppose this is who we are as a trio!
I hope you'll make the beautiful road trip and join us. It's early enough in the day that you will probably be back home to watch your "Team" on  TV or catch them on the radio from the car radio as you enjoy the rest of the day!

Come join me and my friends Friday night for a great show. We have performed together so many times we are being referred to as "The Gang"! LOL!  Most of you know me if you land on this blog very often and probably have seen Matt here a lot. We became friends with Alex and Emma close to the same time and we all hit it off as friends and songwriters thinking on the same track!We are Indie-Pop, Pop, Americana, Country. We're all on Facebook and would love if you search Facebook and give us a LIKE on our music pages, browse our photos and see what we are up to. We're also on ReverbNation and would appreciate if you go there and play our songs. Visit me at http://www.maryjusticelucas.com! 

The D'licous Dining & Smokehouse Grill is such a wonderful place for shows. Acoustics are great and we really like the retro-look of the 50's decor. The food is terrific and service is wonderful. So, if you are in the Huntsville area, near or passing by, pull off the interstate and join us. Off I-565, take North Parkway exit, stay on access road in right lane, take right turn on to University which becomes Pratt Avenue. Continue for about a mile and you'll see the big sign on the left! OR,  set your GPS to 255 Pratt Ave, Huntsville, AL 35801.
