    Wow, looks like a great book. I attended the 1st 2-3 festivals and countless Sundays @ the Jamboree barn for the jam sessions & shows. Back then, if you played, you were welcome, and could hang out with everybody. Was friends with the Bray Bros. and it was "The Bluegrass University"!! Lots of great memories from back then!!

    Looking forward to getting a copy and seeing Tom at Bean Blossom this year. Tom is another graduate of the Chicago / Hyde Park Fret Shop Crowd (as was I) back in the late 60's whose alumnai include George Gruhn, Mike Bloomfield, Elvin Bishop (taught guitar there), Paul Butterfield, Fred and ED Holstein (Earl of Old Town, Somebody Elses Troubles and Holstein's; the Folk bars of Chicago in the 70's and 80's), Carmi Simon (now in CA) and anybody else who was into our music back then. Oh yeah and Peter Hayward, rest his soul.

    Today is the anniversary of the publication of the book Bean Blossom: The Brown County Jamboree and Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Festivals. Great read for those interested in early bluegrass history.
