This is a big bluegrass festival month. The 37th
annual Smithville Fiddlers' Jamboree was July 4th and
5th. The 31st annual Uncle Dave Macon Days was this past
weekend. I'm proud to say, with the help of the best
backing musicians around, I was able to take back to
back first place wins in the dobro category at both
festivals. Rob Pearcy, Joe Holloway and Chuck Holcomb
helped me at Smithville while Ray Lane and Joe Holloway
helped me at UDMD.
