The Day After
Today, we are getting ready for a trip down south. If you have checked out the links on my blog, you have noticed that the count down timer is counting down to the New Year’s bluegrass festival at Jekyll Island . We have enjoyed attending that festival numerous times over the past few years, although …

Some songs just sound better when sung a certain way. Ron Thomason has been running the roads for more than a few years, doing just that. Ron had the raising to show him how songs and life itself really feel. He also has a way with words, and a way of thinking that could improve …

Not Grass
We went to the Ark last night to see a bluegrass, newgrass, acoustic, oh heck I don’t know what they were. They had a fiddle, a 10 string thing that looked like a baritone uke, an electric upright bass, a banjo and a guitar. Everything was plugged in. Papa said, “The only thing missing was …

I Know, I Know

World of Bluegrass – Again
I thought you might like to see the article Barry Mazor wrote about the IBMA World of Bluegrass, the trade show, convention, awards show, and Fanfest Papa and I recently attended. You really have to be there to understand how special the whole event is. This explains it to people who don’t understand, I guess.

Finally, Papa’s Pictures Posted
Papa took some very nice photos of Bobby Osborne last weekend during Bobby’s two Detroit area appearances. My favorite is this one: It happened to be taken at the Eagles, rather than OCC. The band has settled into a line-up which includes Bobby, Bobby Jr. on bass, Richard Bennett on guitar, Dana Cupp on …
