June 2010 VT - Finally got myself up to Jenny Brook at their
new digs at the Tunbridge Fair in Tunbridge VT. Gibson
Bros and Seldom Scene with Dudley Connell did not
dissappoint. Grasstowne with the amazing vocals of Steve
Gulley, formerly of Mountain Heart and the awesome Adam
Haynes' fiddling were a special treat. Camping by the First
Branch of the White River lulled us to sleep nightly!

Oxymoronic observations aside, a newly
discoverd bluegrass web-mag, The Bluegrass
Intelligencer has some of the most hysterical
bluegrass-influenced comic writing I have ever
seen. I love reading and leaving comments
almost as much as I enjoy the articles
themselves. See kat's comment on bluegrass
hair here.
