I'm working under a short deadline and want to get to today's events. Therefore, I'll post quick band pictures with no commentary. Next week, when I have a little time for reflection, I'll post commentary, add names and sidemen, and make the posts more useful with plenty of links. Please forgive the rush.

Ted, I'm so glad I stumbled on this blog on the Bluegrass-L list today. I appreciate you posting the IBMA week photos so much. It's kinda like being there only not nearly as fun. Love the pictures at all the other places too. Reminds me of when I lived in Nashville and how much I miss hanging out in them. :o) Thanks for all you do for bluegrass music.
ReplyDeleteWake up Ted...we're waiting on Tuesday! Late night jams huh? I put your Blog on my Facebook page and you have followers now on this daily blog. We're all living vicariously through you this week. LOL
ReplyDeleteTed,
ReplyDeleteAs always a great post.
We all need to write Mr. Fisher and thank him for extending an invitation for bluegrass groups to have more represention at the Opry.
When I am in town I usually take in the Station Inn. The talent level is so high there, and it is such a value for my entertainment dollar. Next time I am in town I might go the Opry one night too. He seems like he is not going to turn his back on tradition, and yet still move forward.

Slight correction for you, Ted. Your caption of the "Hamish" brothers are actually the Davidson Brothers, Lachlan and Hamish, from Australia. Great young pickers, BTW.
ReplyDeleteGreat seeing you down there and thanks for the great pix of my session. We all had a blast!
