No matter what the judges say, Ralph tore 'em up with his rendition of Cumberland Gap last night. The roar from the crowd (the Radford contingent) was amazing! Bunch of fine fiddler's up there, our guy included.
Not a whole lot going on jam-wise that we could get into. Ralph, Jason, Joe and myself picked for an hour or so with our old friend Vernon Elkins, his brother Paul, and several of their buddies. Had a good time with them. Joe, Jason and I looked around the grounds for some others to pick with, and even though we found some folks we knew, not much pickin going on. We stopped and listened to a couple of groups playing and then ended the evening sitting down and watching Heather Berry and some of her friends jamming at a campsite. They were mighty good.
Had a good time. May not wait 25 years before going back again!

A blog for bluegrass fans to talk about bluegrass or whatever and to check up on the Java Brothers Bluegrass Band from Radford, Virginia. We are progressive, but pretty much only to the extent that we'll play new songs as hard driving bluegrass. We love Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, The Seldom Scene, JD Crowe, Tony Rice, Sam Bush, the Country Gentlemen, the Beatles, the Stones, and all the greats.

Side Door Sessions
We've got a big show planned for October 15th, 2011. The Java Brothers and the Porch Loungers will be there, and other friends, too! As usual, doors open at 7 and music starts at 7:30.
We're always looking for more acts and ways to improve the Sessions. Please send all suggestions to me at chris.burgoyne@gmail.com. I'd love to hear from you.
Hugs and kisses!
And just because I like it, and sometimes I want to know, here's the time right now in Manila!

Well, sometimes watchin's as good as pickin'. (Didn't Briscoe Darling say that?)
Thanks for backing me up last night, Wayne. That was a good time. I especially enjoyed playing with Vernon and Paul again.
Goes on all week! More pickin' to be had thru Saturday night, if any of y'all get the itch.
Y'all had more fun than me, I'm sure. Wait, I take that back, I had a nice Indian dinner with some friends from work, but I still woulda like to have been there. Go Ralph!
