Update May 13, 2009

The Hope Bluegrass Festival on Saturday, May 9th went on through a tornado warning and heavy rain . . . a lot of people were blaming us for bringing it down there to them, but we had nothing to do with it! :) Saturday was also birthday-girl time. I turned 20 and Abby turned 14. Mom no longer has five teenagers! We passed out over a hundred birthday brownies (thanks, Mom!) and some of the cake our Aunt Susan made and brought over. (You can see it in the picture.) Alan Munde's group did a great job playing, as did the Hempstead Cty Melody Boys, High Mountain Grass, and Ray Wingfield's current lineup! The small picture below right (or is it left? You'll have to guess from the picture--I'm directionally challenged!) is of Alan Munde's band . . . not sure what happened to the pictures of the other bands!

News on the CD: The title of it will be A MILLION THINGS, and right now it's off being mastered by Eric Uglum, who has also mastered some great projects like Sierra Hull's Secrets, some of Ron Block's work, and Chris Stuart & Backcountry's Crooked Man. We're looking forward to hearing it when he gets finished with his part of the production. Next, we'll send it to Minnesota to be replicated and we'll get back 1,000 brand-spanking-new CDs in plastic wrap! I hope we'll have it out soon. I'll keep y'all posted!

We're looking forward to playing this weekend in Delight and hoping we're all well and singing our best! Thanks to everybody for the birthday wishes!

See Y'ALL down the road! :D
