Brenda Best & Rik Reese (pictured here) traveled from Nashville & Las Vegas to attend their home-province’s annual event. They grew up together and played in the same family band, and then moved away to pursue careers in Country Music and both have found success. It was a wonderful reunion and Brenda proposed the idea of working together in the near future. Maybe a duet !
