Scottsville gets a Mexican Restaurant

alking into the “Tequila Sunrise Bar and Grill,”
Scottsville’s only Mexican restaurant, was totally déjà
vu all over again. It’s in the place previously occupied by several eateries through the years; among
them Café Bocce, River Rose, 330 Valley and most recently the
Horseshoe Bend Bistro. The interior seems very familiar, except for
the addition of new cozy booths on either side of the brick-walled
interior. The street view window seats are still there and the bar in
the next room is pretty much the same as before.
Co-owner Cora Barnes, wearing a warm red knit coat, welcomed
me and we sat down at one of the comfortable booths for a talk.
The restaurant was due to open for lunch within the hour, and there
was already a hustle and bustle of preparations. The four cooks
were busy in the kitchen, one of the servers, Sallie Nash, was wiping down tables and arranging items on the counter. Jose Ramos,
the bartender, was getting the bar counter clean and spiffy. He was
wearing an attractive Izod La Coste vest, but still excused the way
he was dressed. He’d preferred to wear his server clothes for the
photos.
Cora Barnes, with Carlos Barreles, also owns “Tequila Grill” in
Louisa. It has been open for over a year and is doing so well she
decided to open another Mexican restaurant here in Scottsville. “I
thought I might as well keep going while I had the energy,” she said.
With her Hispanic background (she was born in Panama) it was
almost a forgone conclusion for her to choose to serve Mexican
food. “I love to eat, and I love trying new and unfamiliar food. The

menu is very traditional though, very
familiar to anyone who has eaten
Mexican fare,” she said. The extensive
menu spanning several illustrated pages
includes everything you could expect
from a Mexican restaurant: appetizers,
salads, and soups. The lunch and dinner
sections offer tacos, fajitas, enchiladas,
chimichangas and more.
There is
always a choice of beef, chicken,
seafood or beans. The vegetarian menu
should be a delight for non-meat eaters.
The dessert menu among other temptations includes flan a personal favorite.
There is a children’s menu that should
please any reluctant eater.

miling and sincere, Eddie Adcock played more than half his recent show
accompanied by Martha Adcock and Tom Gray at Victory Hall, with driving banjo and flights of fancy on the guitar, conjuring the glory days of the
Country Gentlemen, before telling a favorite Scottsville memory to his
enthusiastic fans. He and Rex Meyers, Eddie said, would jump from the hill behind
Victory Theatre onto the roof, with straws they purchased at the dime store, and
shoot peas at passersby in the street. They never knew, Eddie is still pleased to
report, what hit them; they never looked up.
Eddie Adcock’s life has stayed twined with Scottsville, where he lived until he was
16. He and Martha have been committed to the refurbishing of Victory Theatre and
come yearly from their Tennessee home for this concert, which also gives them time
to see family and friends. They were happy, after the show, to invite everyone to
join them at the Tavern on the James. Scottsville looks good to them.
Eddie was born here in 1938, one of seven siblings spanning more than twenty
years; he lived his first seven years out the Howardsville Road about three miles west
of town. Then his father hand-built a house near Jefferson Mill Road, a place that
became the sustenance for the family: “We lived off the farm,” Eddie remembers;
4 • SCOTTSVILLE MONTHLY • November 8–December 5, 2013
and as a youngster he did daily chores, helping with the cows, chickens, pigs, and
gardens.
“Everyone in my family was musical to a certain extent,” Eddie now says—
except, perhaps—well—his mother, who “sounded like a squeaky hinge.” But they
sang; brother Harvey played the harmonica, Frank played guitar, Bill took up fiddle,
and sister Nancy had a beautiful voice. His other sister, Willie, sang all the time
around the house, anywhere. The children were often in church or school choirs,
as well.
Eddie doesn’t think of his family as a major influence in his life of music, though
Bill gets special credit. Bill worked repairing, upholstering, and delivering furniture
for Parr’s, in the three-story brick building now housing the James River Brewery.
Harold Parr, who owned Chester, an estate on James River Road built in 1847 and
now Chester Bed and Breakfast --would sometimes get instruments in trade, or Bill
would be given an unused instrument when he brought furniture to people’s houses.
Eddie started bringing a guitar to school in the sixth grade. His first grade
teacher, Parr’s sister, Mrs. Pauline Mayo, took a special interest in him and taught

Eddie to read and write music. “She
had a black acetate record with all the
sounds of the orchestral instruments—
the winds, the brass—and she would
play them back to test me. I learned all
the different sounds,” he says.
Expanding his musical world beyond
the “hillbilly sounds of local groups, and
even the Scottsville Orchestra, Miss
Mayo got me wrapped up tight in all
forms of music—opera, jazz, country,”
Eddie remembers. “I’ve given her credit for that in every interview.” Gene
Harding, a classmate of Eddie’s, says
he’s heard Eddie tell that story at con-
certs. But what he recalls is Mrs. Mayo
saying, “’Eddie, put that guitar down
and do your school work.’ I don’t know
which version is true!” Gene says Mrs.
Mayo recognized Eddie’s talent and
wanted to encourage him; she was
always patient.
Most of his musical training, Eddie
says, came from listening. He learned
guitar first, then mandolin, then tenor
banjo. He was “relieved,” he says,
when his Scottsville friend Joe Smith
showed him the proper way to hold the

live in or near Scottsville. Cora has lived
in Virginia off and on since 2004. Her
apartment is conveniently located right
above the restaurant. “Sallie [Nash]
learned how to write the orders in
Spanish for the kitchen staff, just like
that!” she said while snapping her fingers. Sallie is a very friendly waitress
with a ready smile and she could easily
earn the monikers “perky, and bubbly.”
Cora introduced another of her star
servers, Magali Hernandez, who had
arrived with her young, handsome, son
to get the schedule for the evening.
The room next door is, as before,
serving beer, wine and cocktails and
soon will have a separate bar menu with
more “American” foods such as sliders,
chicken wings, and other appetizers.
Cora’s role is not that of a cook or
chef, but as a manager and facilitator.
“I’ll be an ever-present organizer,” she
said. There are four cooks, several
servers, bartenders and the cooks each
man a different station in the kitchen.
“The help and support from the community has been overwhelmingly positive,” she said. On opening night,
which was a Wednesday, their bartender was delayed and the management at “The Tavern” lent them a bartender for the evening. Good thing too,
since the restaurant was full.
“We are looking into having live
music on week-ends,” she said.
“Tequila Sunrise”, if you didn’t know,
is a bright and vibrant cocktail. The
restaurant lives up to its name. Take 1
½ ounces tequila, add six ounces of
orange juice, pour a dash of grenadine
over the top and there you have it.
Simple, with a gentle kick, very colorful
that while you sip it might bring you a
whiff of Mexican beaches and leisure
time in the sun.
The restaurant is open seven
days a week, Sunday through
Thursday from 11a.m until 10
p.m. and week-ends, Friday and
Saturday, 11 a.m. until 12:30
a.m. The location is right on Valley

G chord, much easier than what
he’d devised. Joe and his brother
Wes were in a different band in
town, and “advanced, musically.”
Joe says his father played the fiddle
and got him interested in music by
teaching him guitar. He and his
brother and a neighbor would play
for dances, and sometimes played
with Eddie and Frank. Joe remembers that they occasionally played
on the street in Scottsville, especially near the current Baine’s coffee
shop. One night someone opened
a window above them and yelled,
“’We’re trying to sleep in here’—
and we walked off playing and
singing ‘So Long, It’s Been Good
to Know You.’” One night, Joe
says, he and Eddie walked home to
Eddie Adcock as a
Joe’s, up Albevanna Spring Road,
school boy.
playing and singing all the way.
Despite help from Joe (“the one
person he’s taken advice from,”
says Martha) Eddie, throughout his career, has forged his own
way, made his own sound. “It costs you to do music the way
you want,” he says, “and I’m the most famous poor person
you’ll ever meet.” But eventually people caught onto his style
and technique, and he says he’s hearing popular musicians
now playing as he did twenty years ago.
Eddie went to first and second grade in the old Primary
School on Bird and Page, then to Scottsville High School into
seventh grade. His asthma kept him back in first grade, and
in third his teacher, Mrs. Phillips, thought he should repeat,
though he had passed all his work. He didn’t question this
until later, but being two grades behind his peers was a difficult challenge, he says. Mrs. Mayo, his favorite teacher
except for Miss Caldwell, was hard on him but, seeing his
worth, helped him get as much out of school as he could.
There was a small pavilion, a type of band shell, behind the
Scottsville High School, on the playground. This was roughly where the recycling dumpsters are now. Eddie and “anyone else musically inclined, “according to Gene Harding,
would play there informally during recess. Baxter and Pat
Pitts remember this as a highlight. Gene says Frank, though
not serious about music as Eddie was, was a “terrific player.”
Eddie formed a group called the James River Playboys.
Eddie feels he couldn’t always concentrate on school, due
to his chores. His older siblings “got out as soon as they
could.” Wartime was stringent; the family worked hard to
provide themselves fruit and vegetables, meat, milk, and
flour—which they had ground at the Scottsville Mill on Main
Street. They bought only sugar, salt, and coffee, Eddie says.
His father often made only $5 a week. His mother had a
series of nervous breakdowns; his father, cancer. Eddie lived
with an aunt for a while. He had a paper route for “Grit” and
for the “Daily Progress”; he mowed lawns, including the
Scottsville Cemetery, all with a push mower. He didn’t have
a job at Victory Theatre, but “helped out” there.
Eddie, 14 or 15, was raising a calf and feeling that he
would like to be a farmer. He read about it, “got excited about
farming. But music was burning in my soul.” Occasionally,
he’d earn pocket change--$4-$5—busking at Duke Johnson’s
Republic service station at the Main Street end of Valley. That
was an odd-shaped lot on the east side of the road, he says,
where two cars would fit, four would make it “plum full.” He
stood in front of the drink machine, where folks would be sure
to find him.
His first professional music job was on WCHV,
Charlottesville, where he played on a gospel show with Frank.
He’d met the preacher at a tent meeting on the high school
grounds. Then, in 1954, he heard Smokey Graves on the
radio say he needed a 5-string banjo player, “and farming
6 • SCOTTSVILLE MONTHLY • November 8–December 5, 2013
went out the window.”
His mother sensibly noted that he played
tenor banjo, not 5-string, but Eddie knew he
could learn. Without a phone, he wrote to
Graves, who responded by inviting him to try
out for the job. “I’ll be there in two weeks,”
Eddie wrote; “there’s some stuff I have to clear
up around the farm.” Eddie sold his calf and
bought a new Gibson banjo at Stacy’s Music in
Charlottesville. “I stayed glued to the banjo and
the clock. My finger bled. I got to where I
thought I was good enough to fake the rest.
Smokey understood I was a musician, and
thought I’d continue learning,” so Eddie was
hired. He left home in 1954, to join the Blue
Star Boys in Crewe, Virginia. His mother
helped with the banjo payments, and when he
started making $35 a week, he sent money
back to her.
“I lived in the YMCA in Crewe,” Eddie says,
young
“and later with a family.” Besides giving him
professional experience, this time also exposed
Eddie to a deep degree of racial animosity he
never knew in Scottsville. The band did regular
radio shows and played for dances or concerts. Whenever
shows didn’t prevent him, he hitchhiked home to his mother’s, usually two or three times a week.
“When they came back to the Victory Theatre,” Martha
Adcock says, “he was a hero!” This is the period in Scottsville
Eddie remembers as the best. Three hundred and fifty people
would fill Victory Theatre for two shows a night, seeing the
best acts in the country—Kate Smith, Flatt and Scruggs, Roy
Acuff, Gene Autry. There was a guaranteed crowd for the
music in Scottsville; acts never went to Charlottesville.
“Victory Theatre was poppin’!”
“Scottsville,” Eddie says, “when I was a kid, was so crowded you couldn’t walk down the sidewalk on weekends. You
had to step off into the street. There were horses and wagons filled with produce, as well as cars. Everyone was out.”
It was an expansive time, “peacefully optimistic,” Eddie
recalls, through 1956; three or four years later, “it looked like
a desert.” But Eddie was off to broader horizons: a job with
Mac Wiseman in 1955 and Bill Monroe in 1957. His most
renowned group, the Country Gentlemen, was invited to play
at Carnegie Hall in 1961; Eddie stayed with them until 1970.
This group, through Eddie’s determination to play music his
own way, pushed the boundaries of bluegrass, and broadened
the appeal of its sound during the folk music explosion of the
‘60s. “I released all my insides, all my creativity, into the
band,” he says now; “I was ready to say something on my
own—and that’s where I made my mark.”
Throughout a wide-ranging career and many awards,
including the governor’s proclamation of June 14, 1987, as
the first “Eddie Adcock Day,” Eddie treasures most, not his
fame, but Martha Hearon. They met through music in 1973
and married in 1976; “That was my life completed,” he says
simply. Today, after three dramatic, difficult Deep Brain
Stimulation surgeries to correct a tremor in his right hand,
Eddie continues to play special concerts with Martha, be
involved in various musical and other charities and educational efforts, and to run a recording studio.
At the October 5 concert at Victory Hall, Eddie and
Martha, joined by former Country Gentleman Tom Gray on
bass, played on the 60th anniversary of Bob Spencer opening
the curtain for Eddie’s first solo performance at the theatre.
Their pride and pleasure at being in Scottsville was evident
and the music was fine. It was a hometown night, full of
smiles, laughter, jokes, and love, all blended with soaring
song.
[Grateful thanks for the time so graciously given by Eddie
and Martha; and to Bob Spencer for organizing the interview. Many of Eddie’s discs and LPs are in the Scottsville
Library, and there’s a lot more information online.—rk]

F.A.S.E. (ing) The Music
By Ronald Smith
Correspondent
D
r. George Bornoff was
born in Winnipeg,
Ontario, Canada in
1907. Most of us have
probably never heard of him, until now.
Scottsville residents have the unique
opportunity to learn firsthand about this
remarkable man and his contributions
to the world of string music education
based on the widely used system he
developed.
In the 1920’s and ‘30’s, Dr. Bornoff
performed with orchestras in Canada.
He was so talented as a teen and young
adult that when famous musicians of the
era, particular violinists, made a
stopover in the Winnipeg area he was
invited to perform with them. In 1943
he moved to New York and earned his
Master of Arts degree from Columbia
University’s Teachers College. In 1953
he became Professor of Music
Education at Boston University. As his
biography states, “by this time his workshops and the Bornoff-oriented programs were being established around
the continent.”
In 1978 Dr. Bornoff established
FASE, the Foundation for the
Advancement of String Education. The
organization’s purpose was, and still is
to “teach teachers how to apply the
principles and use the materials that he
developed over fifty years as one of the
leading figures in the world of string
education.’
So, how do we get “first hand” information about Dr. Bornoff’s methods
and FASE?
Formerly located in
Boston, the headquarters of the foundation is now located in Scottsville! The
vacant space at 475 Valley Street (next
to the Dollar General Store) has been
remodeled and now serves as
Foundation Headquarters.
Why the move to Scottsville? Area
resident Debra Lyle is currently
President of the Board of FASE.
Debbie is Director of Instrumental
Music at St. Anne’s-Belfield School in
Charlottesville. She is a specialist in the
Bornoff method. At age sixteen she
became a member of the Bornoff
“CORE” Teachers Group and at age
nineteen joined the staff of the Bay
State String Camp and Teachers’
Workshop. Debbie studied with Dr.
Bornoff and also with a number of
internationally recognized string “masters” not only on the violin, but many
other stringed instruments.
The purpose of FASE in multifold.
They provide consulting services for
both individuals and community programs. Bornoff String Workshops and
seminars can be scheduled through the
Foundation. And, the Foundation is
always looking for venues to take their
programs which include not only broad
overviews but in depth study and certification programs.
One of the other exciting aspects of
FASE is their grant and scholarship programs. A number of well-known string
education programs around the country
have been recipients of grants. This
year alone FASE has distributed over
$65,000 to educators and programs
around the country.
The Scottsville Center for Arts and
Nature received a grant to start a string
program. Debbie’s son Jason Ankney,
a 2003 graduate of St. Anne’s-Belfield,
began, like his mother, teaching at an
early age. As a teen in high school,
Jason taught violin and viola to his
younger classmates. Now he teaches
two violin classes for SCAN at the
Victory Hall Theater.
With the grant, SCAN, FASE and
southern Albemarle schools have
formed the Southern Albemarle Strings
Program. Fourth and fifth graders at
Scottsville, Yancey, Cale and Red Hill
schools can sign up for violin classes
that meet at Walton Middle School on
Tuesday, Thursday and Friday afternoons. The grant helps to provide both
instruments and teachers.

When Mary Hardy Roberts established the Scottsville Center for Arts
and Nature almost twenty years ago,
string education was at the forefront of
her efforts. Debra Lyle has been a
friend of SCAN for several years.
Debra’s passion for quality string education, her interest in seeing that SCAN’s
programs are successful, and her presidency of the FASE board will all contribute to successful string programs for
musicians of all ages both internationally and, fortunately for us, here locally.

A sweet treat for

or Lissa Medeiros and Lee Pinheiro baking is everything. They both have been baking for friends and family for years. And at the urging of family members, the
two friends decided to venture into the baking world,
and on October 27, 2012, they opened Scrumpcious Sweet
Shoppe.
Lissa, who works at a distribution center, and Lee, who works
as a manager of Walmart, met through mutual friends over a
decade ago, and have been swapping baking stories every since.
Scrumpcious Sweet Shoppe, which is located in the heart of
Scottsville, specializes in cookies, made by Lissa, and cupcakes,
made by Lee. The Sweet Shoppe also carries seasonal items such
as caramel apples, cake pops, and cakes. They will also create
beautiful wedding cakes upon request.
The shop is currently opened on Fridays, Saturdays, and
Sundays and the duo hopes to add a truck in the nearby future that
will hold various baked items for purchase. The idea is stock the
truck with their best sellers and take the bakes goods to you -- a
baked goods store on wheels. The ladies plan on branching out to
surrounding counties such as Albermarle and Fluvanna. But don’t
fear, their Scottsville location will remain open for business for
whenever a sweet tooth should arise.
