Apparently, McReynolds lives not far from the venue and saw that Donna was playing and came out to hear her and The Poor Mountain Boys. They had met in December of 2010 when they performed on Music City Roots together. On the intermission, Donna invited Jesse to sit in with the band and he did three songs with them. Thanks to David Anderson who was able to get a few pictures for us on his phone and send them over!
