Oklahoma International BG Festival

Monday, October 5th, 2009

I had a great time performing in Oklahoma this past weekend with my friends Wayne Shrubsall and Bruce Thompson.  Lots of good bands, including Byron Berline, Alan Munde’s Gazette, the Gibson Brothers, Mark O’Connor Trio, and of course, The Old Time Band“.

Alan Munde's Gazette

Here’s a pic from Byron’s International Bluegrass Festival in Gutrhrie, OK. It’s of Alan Munde’s new group. He’s been one of my favorite banjo pickers fro a long time. When I talked to him later, he was wearing a Navy baseball cap with a big letter “N” on the front. I asked him if he’d been in the Navy. He said “No”.  I said   “…then what does the letter ‘N’ stand for?”    He answered, “Nowledge”.
