Back in 1995 when I was a lowly reporter with The News of Orange County in Hillsborough, North Carolina, I got the opportunity to cover legendary singer-songwriter Jerry Jeff Walker in concert at the “Big Barn” and briefly interviewed him after the show. He will be greatly missed …

Between the late summer of 1994 and the fall of 1996, I worked as a lowly reporter for a small weekly newspaper, The News of Orange County, in Hillsborough, North Carolina. There weren’t many perks in this rather thankless job, but I did get a chance to cover the concert of one of my favorite singer-songwriters, Jerry Jeff Walker, who took the stage at the Big Barn for one magical evening of entertainment (sorry, I forget the actual date). Above is one of the photos I took documenting the event. I even got the chance to chat briefly with Jerry Jeff after the show. Truly one of the highlights of my brief stint as a reporter!
