[FreakofSnow]

Anyone going to the Targhee Bluegrass fest? I've wanted to go for the last 4 years, but something always gets in the way. The 110 bones don't help either.

[Red Baron]

Yes, we'll be at Telluride this week for the festival - and we have ONE more ticket to sell - face value $240 - at this point I'm open to ANY and ALL offers!

(did you read that- ANY & ALL)

[Woodsy]

hmmmmmmmm........

nah nic would kill me

[iskibc]

Leftover Salmon is cool, although some don't consider them BG.


RB, I'll give ya $23 and a twelvie of Olympia for the ticket (sorry, that's all I have in my bank account at the moment)

Thats good to hear, (at least if you've practiced enough)Graham and I are off to Weiser on Sunday after playing at the brewfest. I know you won't be there so I'll step on a goatshead or two for you.

its a lowkey family affair. uncrowded & easy to get from front row to back row. lots of grass sittin and i dont recall seeing any busts.
the price scares me off to.

if you're lookin for a down low good time kicked back on a blanky its perfect. if your lookin for a massive throwdown with gazillions of screaming groupies flipping their hippy sticks in the air, hackin around, and beggin for change then TG is not for you.

mmmm weiser.... drunken music playing at 4:00 am......

too tense hippie parents and freaking people out with incorrect song titles and personal activities when getting your name announced on stage.


Sorry won't be there, playing a gig on Saturday.

Izza might just check that oot

Sybil sits in a rocking chair
Chewing tobacco and spitting out cares
Sound of a fiddle floating thru the air
From the Jones boy across the holler
From the Jones boy across the way

Backwoods folks take sides from the middle
Backwoods folks is old and brittle
But they sway like a tree to the sound of a fiddle
From the Jones boy across the holler
From the Jones boy across the way

You can hear him late at night
You can hear him in the first light of the day
There's a contest coming and a ticket to Nashville
And the Jones boy aims to play
A contest coming and a ticket to Nashville
And the Jones boy aims to play

And the Jones boy aims to play
A contest coming and a ticket to Nashville
And the Jones boy aims to win

bahahahahahahaha,


I have this thing for and against allison krause.... call it a love hate relationship.

I love to hate her and I hate to love her.......

W00T

[grrrr]

New and in the way:

Railroad Earth

Another one

I'll be upfront and say that I've known these guys for many years, and that bluegrass reviewers are quick to point out that aren't "really" bluegrass, as they have a bass and drums behind the banjo, fiddle, mandolin, guitars and various and sundry other instruments.

But, they are some of the most accomplished musicians playing the festival circuit these days, and the .reviews they get across the country are top notch.
