Knee-Deep PLAYLIST-Show 458- Earl Scruggs remembered

We mourn the passing of Earl Scruggs, but at the same time, celebrate his life and what his music means to all of us.

We also welcome a brand new advertising partner to the show, JIM MILLS BANJO! Jim has the largest selection of pre-war Gibson Banjos (like Earl Scruggs played) anywhere. Thanks, Jim! I have been proud to call you my friend for the past 30 years and I look forward to working with you.

I also visit with Casey Vanhoy, whose grandfather, H.P. Vanhoy, founded the Union Grove Fiddlers Convention in 1924. The convention grew to be a huge event and ran from 1924 to 1979. Casey has now revived the convention for Easter Weekend. We talk about the history of the event and feature songs recorded at Union Grove over 35 years ago, featuring teenagers Sam Bush & Terry Baucom, as well as AL Wood, LW Lambert, New Deal String Band and more.

This CD has been gaining popularity as evidenced by the increase in calls from promoters to book the band. Cody talks about the musical transition that took place after he was in a position to take over management and ownership of the band.

Congratulations World of Bluegrass Winners!

Once again this year, Knee-Deep In Bluegrass had the opportunity to conduct two separate contests to send listeners to World of Bluegrass Week, presented by the International Bluegrass Music Association. The week includes a business conference trade show, IBMA Awards Show at the Ryman Auditorium and Bluegrass FanFest at the Nashville Convention Center. Each of the winners will receive 2 VIP tickets to the IBMA Awards Show for September 29, two VIP weekend passes for Bluegrass FanFest and 3 nights lodging in downtown Nashville at the host hotel, The Renaissance.

One winner was chosen from on-site entries at the Knee-Deep In Bluegrass booth at festivals this summer where I appeared. And the other from online entries through my website.

The first winner was CHARLES MOONEYHAM of Newport, Tennessee, who registered during the Red White and Bluegrass Festival this past July in Morganton, NC.

The next winner was KEVIN MILLER of West Jefferson, NC, who sent in an entry online after hearing the contest announced.

Congratulations to both Charles and Kevin. I look forward to seeing you and your guests in Nashville for World of Bluegrass!

Thanks to everyone who entered. I hope many of you will join us this year, September 26-October 2, 2011, for a great time. New price rates have been announced, as well as a different, welcoming atmosphere at the convention center. For details, please visit www.worldofbluegrass.org.

Thanks!~CB
