BlueGrass West! Music Newsletter We'd like to welcome new subscriptions to this newsletter.
Friends, Thanks to everyone who attended our show at the SY Valley Grange Hall last month. We were close to a sellout and, as far as we could see, most everyone stayed to the very last tune, Bill Monroe's "I'm On My Way Back To The Old Home". Thanks also to C.C. Beaudette-Wellman who sold hot coffee and baked goods to our hungry fans and raised funds for her "Happy Endings" Animal Rescue Sanctuary.
We have no new public shows to list at the present, but there are some projects "In the pipe". Meanwhile, remember BlueGrass West! if you need music for your party, fund-raiser, wine tasting or other event. Featured CD this month:
