Thanks to The Bluegrass Blog
I got a call from a touring musician today.
“Hey Doc. Did you know you are on the front page of the Bluegrass Blog today?”
“Uh, well, no. I let them know about my MerleFest posts, and that I had a book in the works, but no I had no idea I’d get on there. Wow. Cool. I guess that is pretty big.”
“Pretty big? Bibey, that is like ‘U.S.A. Today’ for all of us on tour. It’s the first thing we check every morning.”
“Right before noon, huh?
“Funny. No kidding man, the Bluegrass Blog is the ticket. You better send them a thank you note.”
I thought about that for a moment, and decided maybe I’d do one better. If my blog got even one of y’all got interested in bluegrass, I hope you’ll click on the link below and let them know. Who knows, it might get me and my mandolin on another MerleFest stage some day. It was first thing this morning, so you’ll have to scroll down a ways. It is right after the story about Ralph Stanley.
And thanks to all for y’all for reading my blog. The best thing to come out of my blog is all my new friends, and I appreciate every one of you for the insights you have shared with me.

Thanks Julius,
I hope to make bluegrass the music of choice for every school child in the free world. (Well O.K., at least my neck of the woods and as far as ‘The Mandolin Case’ will take me anyway.)
Hope all is well with you and school. I still hope you’ll be my Doc in the Nursing Home someday.
