As the middle of the holiday season approaches, I wanted to thank everyone for reading and posting for all these years, and especially for the honor of this topic being made a Sticky. I hope I can continue to earn that honor.

So early on, I wish you all a beautiful holiday season.

Fred

Here are my 4 throwbacks for the day...

Whenever I get the schedule for the Grey Fox Creekside Stage, as soon as I see
any entries from the Berklee College of Music I automatically circle everything
for my video to-do list. This year was no different. Here are my first 2017 videos.
 

After almost catching up, I'm finally able to start making my videos available
from the warm and intimate Oldtone Roots Music Festival. Here's the first of
hopefully many over the next few months...

After Orrin Star sadly passed away on November 29, Jimmy Gaudreau saw my email and contacted me with his memories of Orrin, including working dates with him in the early 2000s. In Orrin's memory, Jimmy graciously offered me two of his instrumentals with Orrin. I have added them to my previous Star & Mehalick recording page....

As Monty Python used to say, "And now for something completely different."

Here's a holiday gift from more of the top-shelf Berklee folks

Sorry Dave, I have no new information.

Please use this topic for Raymond: Prayers for Raymond Fairchild

I've got a lot of band-approval videos waiting to edit and publish.

Fortunately my good friends Too Blue have one song, sofar, from their Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association concert.

I'm very glad my 2017 videos from this intimate friendly festival OldTone Roots are coming out.

This is a great way to start!

Here's a "new classic"

Here's the first of two very entertaining installments of the recent concert by the Feinberg Brothers
at our Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association.

Please enjoy another gifted group from last summer!

Looking forward to this summer. Meanwhile, here's still some fun from last summer.
 

I'm thrilled you''ll get to see this young lady with a stunning  old soul!

Oldtone Roots Music Festival

This young lady made a big splash on the Oldtone Tweenier Stage last year, and we are excited to add Nora Brown to our lineup this year! Thank you to Fred Robbins for capturing this moment

Nora Brown on the Tweenier Stage at Oldtone Roots 2017 Catch Nora Brown at Oldtone Roots 2018! We can't wait…

This is not my video - I wish it was! And it's not on a banjo.
At least it's my good friend kicking it on my alltime favorite Scruggs tune:..

One of the top honors and pleasures of recording in my decade of volunteering. Thanks and congratulations to John Rossbach!

Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival
During Grey Fox 2017, John Rossbach sat down with music great, Ricky Skaggs, at the Creekside Stage for an extended interview covering Ricky's early life, influences, and other insights from a legendary career in music. Enjoy Part 1 here. Part 2 coming tomorrow!
