A great, but wet day was enjoyed by all here at the Milan Bluegrass Festival, Milan Michigan Yesterday. Papa’s pictures will be posted Monday, since I don’t have a great connection. But, I do have one, so that is nice. Dave Parmley’s new, very yellow bus pulled in a few minutes ago, so the day … Read more

We spent the weekend with friends at the Marshall Bluegrass Festival. Burke and Tina Cole put on this Michigan festival annually, and bill it as “The Peoples festival”. True to form, many great Michigan pickers populated the campgrounds. In fact, I believe Burke had the largest crowd I’ve seen there since they moved the festival … Read more

Granny needs to clean out the camper, put away the food, wash her clothes and get going again tomorrow. The great Mountaintop festival is … Read more
Sunday, we’re on our way to Pennsylvania. We got an early start, which we blew by stopping to eat a nice lunch. I guess that’s what vacations are about. We spent the weekend near Leslie, Michigan, at the Wheel Inn Campground. A quite place, and we had a nice rest. A few bands played, a … Read more

It as a good show and and killer lineup. I felt optimistic about Bluegrass in Michigan when the Grascals closed the … Read more
