Guesting with the Daughters of Bluegrass











Saturday, July 11, The Daughters of Bluegrass performed two sets at the Wayside Bluegrass Festival in Stuart, VA. On hand for Saturday's show were Dale Ann Bradley, Gena Britt, Jeanette Williams, Lisa Manning, Tina Adair and Heather Berry. I would like to thank the "Daughters" for inviting me to join them on stage to perform a couple of songs. It was a lot of fun to get on stage with these talented ladies! I would also like to thank Ms. Dixie Hall for naming me an Honorary Daughter of Bluegrass!~CB

It was a wonderful (& busy!) 4 days in Morganton, North Carolina, for the 6th Annual Red White & Bluegrass Festival. The Bluegrass Talent was top-notch. It was quite an enjoyable experience of live music, great food and visiting with friends. I personally would like to thank Gary Leonhardt, Parks & Recreation Director for the City of Morganton for again inviting me to serve as MC for this professionally run event. I would also like to thank Mike Ramsey for all his assistance backstage. As my time allowed, I took some photos and recorded some interviews for Knee-Deep In Bluegrass. Be listening for the interviews on upcoming shows. Enjoy my photo-account of the Red White & Bluegrass Festival!~CB
