Before all the stages are in business and well afterward, there's always more music to be enjoyed...

Yesterday it occurred to me that I'd like to have audio of all the tunes
from the 2015 Grey Fox Keith Style Banjo Summit for my decade-old iPod.

I produced the original videos...

...and am now happy share with you the audio tracks of all the tunes performed that
specially emotional night by the generous eight top-shelf artists...

Ryan Cavanaugh, Béla Fleck, Tony Trischka, Marc Horowitz,
Mike Kropp, Mike Munford, Noam Pikelny, and Eric Weissberg

At their Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association concert the unique Bill & The Belles tells what you'll see of them this summer...

Nice. This is awesome. any recent update from Grey Fox?

[robbif]

I've send the complete video to Kris of Bill and the Belles, and I'm pretty sure after they get back from being "on the road" I'll be able to start making show segments available in the near future.

I just discovered this great article about the exclusive event that I recorded and am working on the videos right now...

Whenever I get the schedule for the Grey Fox Creekside Stage, as soon as I see
any entries from the Berklee College of Music I automatically circle everything
for my video to-do list. This year was no different. Here are my first 2017 videos.

[robbif]

As Monty Python used to say, "And now for something completely different."

[robbif]

Here's a holiday gift from more of the top-shelf Berklee folks

[robbif]

Here's a "new classic"

[robbif]

Looking forward to this summer. Meanwhile, here's still some fun from last summer.
