Bob Brittle
Born July 31, 1939 in Tampa, Florida
My dad, Gabriel Brittle would play guitar and sing old country songs like “You Are My Sunshine”, “If I Had the Wings of an Angel”, etc. while we sat around the living room or front porch. Also, my mother (Eileen) & sister (Betty), with whom I didn’t live, sang duets while my mother played guitar or my grandmother played piano. Usually, my mother played outside by a fire built in the yard. My grandmother, Emily de Castro, was born in England and also played classical piano.
At an early age I learned to enjoy singing & harmonizing. While in my teens, my dad started to teach me to play the guitar & I’ve been playing ever since. In 7th grade I started to learn trombone & played in the band thru high school.
In high school I sang in a 50’s doo-wap (rock & roll) quartet.
Since then I have sung in Gospel & barbershop quartets.
Over the years I organized & directed various church choirs.
Back in the 90’s, I started playing & singing for nursing homes in Clarksville, TN, where I was living at the time, & found I enjoyed playing for folks who enjoyed the old classic country & gospel songs. During this same period of time, I was coming each year to vacation at Oakmont, a condo complex in Pigeon Forge. Ron Sullivan was playing for a weekly dinner at Oakmont. He had quite a group of regular fans, including me. I thought I would enjoy doing what he was doing & determined to do the same thing when I moved to this area.
When I did move here, Ron let me sit in with him at his dinner programs & sing & play some songs on my own. Then in 2000 Russell Fox & I started a regular Thursday evening program at Elkmont Campground Amphitheatre which lasted 3 seasons. Since then I have performed programs for various functions, including receptions, church programs, parties, meetings, Wilderness Wildlife Week (PF), Boyd’s Bears, Gatlinburg Heritage Festival, Pittman Center Heritage Festival, etc. I have entertained folks at Wellington Place, Asst. Care Fac., monthly for the last 3 years. I now enjoy singing classic country, mountain, gospel, & 40’s & 50’s pop music. I sing, whistle, yodel, & play guitar with CD backup tracks.
