Howdy Folks,
Well, Sorry to say

I will miss you all this year due to the only engagement I would put as a higher priority event than the Bash. That event is the Fathers Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass Valley

! I have not missed one in about 30 years and plan to keep that streak going until I physically can't make it someday

.
The whole band and our families go up there every year for the entire 4 days, Thursday through Sunday. We get to hear some of the best bluegrass on the planet all day and up untill about 11:00 pm and then we jam until the wee hours of the morning. We don't get a lot of sleep but then heck, its only once a year we do that for a few days

! With our brand new CD, we also get an opportunity to showcase it a little while we are there

.
I will be thinking of you guys and missing the bash experience as well but that is the way it goes. I will do a version of the Northern California Fly Fishing Blues

with the band Saturday night and dedicate it to you all

.
Have fun and hope to catch up with some of you elsewhere on the water this year before its gone.
Best Wishes and Tight Lines Always!
Bluegrass Bill, ever faithful to the Fathers Day Bluegrass Festival!
