the show goes on...

This afternoon we knocked out Show #2 of the new Sunday Bluegrass Breakdown. I had a great time and hope you all enjoyed the tunes. A set list is provided below.

Remember, I'm happy to take requests and it's easy for me to take them via email or this blog, as I try to craft each show prior to entry into the studio.

I'll be out of town Sunday, February 3rd, so somebody else will be taking over the helm for the Sunday Bluegrass Breakdown. I'll be back the Sunday following the 4th Annual Palatka Bluegrass Festival!
