Playing bluegrass is good for the soul. When I'm super-busy and stressed, a night of practice with the band is just the thing to ease my mind. Music soothes!
We had a great time playing in Monticello - what a great venue. Not much lined up until June, but we're working hard to get ready for the "season" and are having a great time learning new tunes and fine-tuning older ones ... adding in dobro and more harmony from Mike Maas.
Dean and Barb went to the bluegrass festival in Burlington and had a good time watching the shows and jamming .. first festival of the season for us. Can't wait until the summer festivals. Have been to a few jams in the area . It was great to see our pickin' friends again after the long cold Iowa winter.
Until later ....
and the joy easily spilled over to the audience. Well done!"
