>Another great Armuchee Labor Day weekend bluegrass festival!


snip, snip, snip....

..As I drove back to Knoxville listening the music of 3TO "Live at the MAC" (picked up from Mr. Carl Queen of Atteiram records at the festival) I realized more than ever that days like these are to be savored - for they are what make the memories, and the music, and especially the people, so special.

Well said Bill,
You shouda got there wednesday,
I realize that you had to work tho, and understand.
 
That warn't no mirror, thats a Armuchee skylight.
By using it carefully, you can stir coffe while lying
on your back, and not miss the cup and spoil the fine linen.
 
Did you see any of the results of Tut's shameless nationwide
appeal for tomatoes??
 
I know you looked all you could, but while you were one place,
other stuff was goin' on and on.
 
Harl Baggett and his 16-year old banjo pickin'friend Joe,
(last name uncertain) holding forth foru hours at a time.
 
Bo Parker singing, not bad.
 
Bob Humphries fixin' a guitar for afriend of mine
and getting to see the fellows face when he played it for
the first time.
 
John Farley pickin' his gibson "Mastertone" guitar.
 
Larry Bishop's new cd, featureing a lot of friends, and turning
out great. Larry is a sorta local celebrity, and dobro
player, this is a great project.
 
Jack Nelson Jokes.
 
Lee Taylor, Not Tut's Lee, the other one, gettin' a look
at Jack's D-35, . Last time hew played one of Jack's
guitars, he went out and bought one.
 
Kathy Reese's cooking, I gained 5 pounds and was
trying to be conservative in my food consumption.
 
LOTS more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Y'all werent there, too bad for you.
If you were then you already knew.
 
I didn't wear Liberties all weekend, I changed into some
Lighter weight (wore out ) Dickies for the Saturday show.
 
Guess I'm a redneck.
Oh well, Monroe and a lot of others, made a living off of
people that wore the things, guess I'll keep on.
