I'm looking forward to Wintergrass again this year, like everybody else. Tom Nechville and I will have a booth again this year, with Tom doing some light setup work for those who are interested. There will be a nice selection of banjos for sale, so come by and try them out.
We will be in a new location this year-- upstairs in the Convention Center. Look for the banner.
Wintergrass has a special place in my heart, from year one. It was there I met Tom Nechville, there I was asked to join the company, and there I've met friends I'll have for the rest of my life. There I had the opportunity to sit and chat with Bill Monroe, on his final trip to the Pacific Northwest. It was Wintergrass that nudged me back into bluegrass itself.
Man, I can't wait.

I got started by listening to Hartford and Seeger, then got busy for years earning a living and raising kids. I addressed my mid-life crisis by getting a new banjo, taking lessons and learning to play bluegrass. Now, I just can't stop picking.
