He is joined by Jim VanCleve and Christian Ward on fiddle, Aaron Ramsey on mandolin and resonator guitar, and Jason Moore on bass.Wyatt Rice guests on guitar for one track, and Lee has assembled a very strong chorus of harmony vocalists (Cia Cherryholmes, Josh Shilling, Clint and Kalyn Wilson). Marcus tells us that he isn\u2019t looking for credit for doing something special with his St. Jude\u2019s fundraiser.\u201cThe reasoning behind this is not anything really deep and poetic. I\u2019ve lost many loved ones to cancer and I have a special place in my heart for all children. $1,000 isn\u2019t an epic donation, but every little bit helps and I want to be able to say that I did the best I could.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Grandpa\u2019s Pond<\/em> can be purchased from <a title=\"Check out Grandpa's Pond at CD Baby\" href=\"http:\/\/www.cdbaby.com\/cd\/leemarcus2\">CD Baby<\/a>, with digital downloads available from the usual sources.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for your continued support of my music! &#8211; Lee Marcus<\/p>\n<p>Download Lee&#8217;s Big Bluegrass hit for free promotional download right now at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wildhorse.co.za\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wildhorse Entertainment<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Lee Marcus is the fine young banjo player with Wayne Taylor &amp; Appaloosa, and starting a few weeks ago, an occasional correspondent for Bluegrass Today.He also has a solo project available, Grandpa\u2019s Pond, released in 2011, which he is using to help raise funds for a very worthy cause.
