Here are two major treats from the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association...

Another great time with the Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association.

Note the young mando and guitar player was a member of the 2013 IBMA Bluegrass Youth All-Stars.

Some catch-up here...

I thought I'd bump this thread and remind you to check out all of my recordings.

Then I realized I wanted to give belated credit to the infamous (?) Greg Rich (user grich right here), formerly Supervisor for Gibson Banjos, Custom Shop & Art Division, for patiently working with me to create the artwork for my web page in 2011.

Please click on the image to see all...

James Stiltner generously provided me with 12 songs from his grandfather in the 1970s.

You can check out The Jackson Brothers and Edd Wolford...

Here's another tune from last year's Grey Fox, where James King calls it a first-time "Gibson Brothers/James King Sandwich"!

 

Hi Folks,

I wanted you to know I recently received a courteous request from a
representative of Doc Watson's estate to, "cease and desist from
offering downloads of Doc's musical performance."

Therefore I have taken down all such downloads, at least until
I'd hoped any possible negotiations could be made, including
possible listen-only/no-download via something like SoundCloud.

But after my request, the representative asked me to keep the
recordings offline.

With regret, I do understand the request and have complied.
I respect the music of my hero and inspiration.

There may still be text, photos, etc. visible, especially via my search feature,
but no recordings should be available. I will complete any more cleanup
as time permits.

My apologies for all affected by this situation.
