Ben Crouch - Ben Crouch comes to the Smyth County Jam from College Station, Texas. We are delighted to have him with us. He says he has played guitar for sixty years! He also sings, as well. None of his family background has musicians in it. After forty years as a professor at Texas A&M he has retired. Ben has been following the Crooked Road on his trip to this area. He was very complimentary concerning the Smyth County Jam; we appreciate his remarks greatly. Ben says he likes the band Blue Highway very much and the music of Norman Blake and Doc Watson. It would be an honor to have Ben back at the Smyth County Jam any time he is near by.
