WEST FRANKFORT, IL – (William McPherson, West Frankfort Gazette. Please click on the link for the full story. Here is an excerpt below.)
For nearly thirty years, when country music superstar Charlie Daniels has stepped out on stage to play his biggest hits, West Frankfort’s own Bruce Ray Brown has been right there with him.
Brown, a noted guitar player who has also released a solo album as well as produced music for numerous television shows and popular films, is an FCHS graduate from the class of 1973.
“When I was in high school I played with some local bands. I started when I was around 15 when I was a sophomore and then also continued on as a junior.”
Around that time Brown played in a horn band called ‘Sidetrak Plus’ out of Herrin which specialized in jazz music and all the standards.
