Later, in 1988, Jeff recorded another album with Bob Fillion, titled "From Us To You", which won first place honors in 1989 by one of Maine's premier country music organizations, The Down East Country Music Association   In 1992, Jeff and his band were the house band for several tapings of  The National Country Music Jamboree,  taped in Ellsworth and Cherryfield, Maine and was televised weekly throughout North America via satellite.

   Sonny Bickford started his musical career in 1953 playing the clarinet and in 1956 became interested  in the guitar.  He borrowed a friend's acoustic guitar, and with the help of Clyde and Edie Miller, he taught himself to play. He ultimately played lead and rhythm guitar in a local trio playing contemporary and rock and roll music.  In 1965, he expanded his musical knowledge and  took lessons and began playing tenor saxophone with the band.  In addition, he also found himself playing bass guitar and drums occasionally.

   In 1973, he changed directions and tranferred his talents into country music.  He continued to play  lead and rhythm guitar while trying his hand at pedal steel guitar.  In 1985, an accident to his left hand  rendered him unable to continue with guitar and he devoted his energies to the pedal steel guitar which allowed him to continue playing music.

While playing with Buckshot, the band won the northern New England Dodge Wrangler Country Music competition and traveled to Nashville,Tennessee to perform for the next  level of the competition.  In November of 2000, Sonny joined  The Maine-ly Country Band winning more awards in Maine competitions and competing in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee as well.  Sonny also joins other steel guitarists to perform at various steel guitar shows held in various regions of Maine.
