Rannie Breeding - Rannie was born in Buchanan County, VA. He now lives in Russell County with his wife Cathy. Rannie spent thirty-five years as a coal miner. He retired in 2006 from that dangerous occupation. He is one of our most faithful members at the JAM; bringing to it a fine talent on the mandolin and a friendly out-going personality to all he meets. Once in awhile Cathy will get up and dance when a good, fast tune is played. This is an enjoyable part of the Smyth County Jam...we need more good dancers!
