Description:
The McConnell Library, on the campus of Radford University, wraps up their Music Mondays series for the Fall 2023 Semester with Ricky Cox and Willard Gayheart on Monday, November 13, 2023 inside the Bird Room.

Our special final musical guests of the Fall semester will be Ricky Cox and Willard Gayheart! Ricky was a long-time instructor here at Radford University and Willard is a much respected pencil artist and musician. Please join us for this very special hour of music!

Willard Gayheart is a pencil artist and musician from Southwest Virginia. He is originally from Eastern Kentucky, working mostly from the theme "Nostalgic Glimpses of the Appalachians". His works are positive images of Appalachian Culture, presenting the region as a place alive with interesting personalities.

Besides his artistic talent with the pencil, Willard is also an accomplished bluegrass musician having played as a member of the bluegrass band The Highlanders. He not only picks the guitar and sings, but writes many of the songs himself. On one album, 5 out of the 10 songs were written by him. All the songs written by Willard reflect his experiences and love for the mountain way of life.
