JACE N’ LEE

Jace n’ Lee is a sextet of highly professional musicians that are true road warriors. Playing a mixture of Southern Rock, Country, Rock, and ballads, the dance ﬂoor is filled everywhere they play. Jace Cadle met B.B. Lee in 2005 during an open mic night at a venue just north of Atlanta. B.B. plays lead guitar, sings and writes music. Jace has since played extensively around the Atlanta area. Jace plays rhythm guitar, sings lead vocals, writes music and is an accomplished artist. Over the next several years, while playing in different projects, their paths continued to cross. In 2009, they decided to join forces, creating Jace n’ Lee. Steve “Song Rider” Dempsey was asked to play bass (the famous Thunderbird bass), vocals and song writing. Next was B.B.’s lifelong friend, Lou Park. Lou’s talents include rhythm guitar, mandolin, harmonica, keyboard, vocals as well as song writing. To round it off, Dawg Burnett, Steve’s close friend, was brought in to play drums and so began Jace n’ Lee. Currently traveling with Jace n’ Lee are two valuable new members. Miss Kelly Green and Rick, “Mr. Smee.” The various members of the band have played and toured with artists such as: Confederate Railroad, David Allan Coe, Molly Hatchet, the Byrds, Government Mule, Eric Quincy Tate, Hank Williams, Jr. and more. Now, as a cohesive unit, Jace n’ Lee is road-tested and crowd-approved.

HOMEGROWN BOYZ

I called Dr. Laura the other day because I love listening to her radio show, (it’s a guy thing) and after waiting 20 minutes to get on the air, I said to her: “Dr. Laura, I sure hope that you can help me.” “I sure hope I can,” she said very profession-

ally. “What’s exactly is the problem?” I said, “Well… it’s my pig, Dr. Laura, he thinks he’s a super hero.” “A super hero?” she questioned. “What are you trying to say — that he’s got a superiority complex — that he thinks he’s better than the rest of us?” “No,” I said, “he’s not a politician, Dr. Laura . . . he’s just a humble super hero.” “That’s funny,” she

Lincoln County Prayer Breakfast

Ruidoso Convention Center 111 Sierra Blanca Drive

Keynote Speaker:

Ruth Graham, daughter of Billy Graham Teen children struggle with bulimia, drugs, unplanned pregnancies. An unfaithful husband crashes a longtime marriage. Divorces. A joyous period with a new mate crushed when he is involved in a near fatal automobile accident.

How does God test our faith? Ruth Graham has been down that road. She knows what it is like to doubt, and she knows what it is like to pick herself up in the Word and walk in His path. This courageous woman’s trials have led her to form the Ruth Graham and Friends Ministry that has special appeal to those who feel marginalized by life, those who might identify with the title of one of her books, In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart. The daughter of beloved and internationally known evangelist Billy Graham, Ruth will be the guest speaker at the Lincoln County Prayer Breakfast this year. Ruth has appeared on a variety of radio and television shows including Good Morning, America, The Hour of Power, Focus on the Family, Fox & Friends, CBN, Life Today, and CNN. Because of the problems she has faced in her own life, Ruth says, she has a special feeling in her heart for those whose struggles make them doubt their faith and whose obstacles seem almost insurmountable. Reaching out to these people has been the underpinning of her new ministerial outreach and is the theme of a second book, Fear Not Tomorrow.
