This fine collection of bluegrass gentlemen are going to be our guests tomorrow night at our venue…. the Glass City Opry.
I’m up tonight making a lovely pasta salad and these devilishly yummy little sweet BBQ meatballs for them.
I really don’t think I will sleep tonight.
They are 7 time IBMA Bluegrass Band of the Year winners as well as like a bazillion other wonderful awards and acolates… it almost didn’t all fit on the flyers that I made up for them awhile back! These guys are like the high court of royalty for our music!
I’m so nervous and excited! This is really a big deal for our little ol’ Opry house…
Listen to these boys sing….
Gosh. Well… it’s tomorrow evening. No turning back now! Been getting lots of phone calls and emails… it’s getting exciting.
Kinda cool that this is our 24th show. Our last show of the year… we start back up in August into our 3rd year of monthly shows. That is quite an accomplishment, really. I’me very proud of all we have accomplished and on a shoe string really. The rest of the year is already lined up and it’s got some great shows planned…. New Found Road, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, David Davis and the Warrior River Boys… Dale Ann Bradley…. I can not imagine what 2010 is gonna look like!
I think I’m going to be making a lot of salad and meatballs in the coming months! (hahaha) It’s going to be a super fun evening… I hope I make it through without needing to be darted by a tranquilzier gun or anything… shesh! I might be a nervous wreck by tomorrow evening! Wish us luck!!!
JUST A LITTLE NOTE HERE:
If you just read that and thought, well, heck, their just some boys from Georgia… playing hill billy music. Let me set ya straight on this. Imagine, if you will, that you like oh, Classic Rock and Roll…. and the Rolling Stones were coming to your place. (g) Or oh pop music and like ah, Madonna was making a pit stop to come and sing for you. Maybe you like Irish or Celtic Music? These guys are the equivalent of say, oh Boys of the Lough or maybe the Chieftains! It’s like being into classical and oh Rachmaninoff is coming by to play and eat your pasta salad and BBQ meatballs. (Okay, yeah, wrong time frame and all, and he’s dead, but still, work with me here… hahaha)
It’s a BIG DEAL for us!!!!!! A WHOPPING BIG DEAL!!!!
Ahem. Just wanted to make sure everyone understood why I can’t hardly sleep tonight!

Hi! Thanks for posting that video clip. Bluegrass is something that I haven’t explored too much, but whenever I hear it, it really tickles something inside me. I’ve really wanted to take Jenna up on her fiddler’s challenge (you’re doing great!) on some instrument even if it’s not the fiddle. I’m interested in the dulcimer and the mandolin. Do you have any music to suggest to get me started listening to or good bluegrass music books? There’s so much to choose from I get so overwhelmed. What are some classic Bluegrass bands you’d recommend? Thanks and good luck with your coming playing season!
Hey you hillbilly music lovin’, banjo playin’, garden growin’ saint. Just found you today. Cute home. Looks real. I like real. Thanks for linking with me. 😉 Keep pickin’, growing, and livin’ simple, my friend. Blessings. Sis
