Jim Rooney: “Endless Possibilities” by Andy May

Andy, Congratulations! I put your CD on tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. …. As Bill Monroe would have said, “I hope this record does you some good.” There’s a lot of good to be gotten out of it. —Jim Rooney on Endless Possibilities by Andy May

Wynn Fay

Wynn was the REAL deal: soulful, musical, knowledgeable, kindhearted, and humble. I performed many a show with him. And, once you were asked to be a Ridgerunner, you were a Ridgerunner for life – and also a member of Wynn’s musical family. Ask other former Ridgerunners like Jim Rooney, Bill Kieth, Jim Heffernan, or Jeff Greenwood (who married Wynn’s daughter Zoe!) or many, many others, and you will hear them all agree.
