I love the way you have the meetings and festivals set up.  No one

I loved it. I have channel 812 which has bluegrass music 24/7.  I
got on the internet yesterday and found 7 Oak Groves in La. 10/25/07

Walter B's Country, Bluegrass, Gospel Show is being discontinued at
Sour lake Elementary School on the 2nd Sat of each month. Health
problems and the rising cost of gasoline is a big factor in  
obtaining a commitment of enough musicians to have a full show. We
had many good shows and do appreciate all the help we had from
friends and supporters. Thanks to the musicians who came and
performed (too many to list) and the musicians who just jammed in
halls during the past year and a half.  Thanks to all who helped us
each month with donations and supported the concessions to continue
to have the show.  Walter and Sandy Boyd  07/03/07

Hey folks, I would like everyone to know what a great job that
Gerald is doing with this site. This wonderful world of Sabine
Bluegrass is a labor of love and dedication.  I just stumbled across
it a couple of weeks ago and have been so impressed. Gerald got our
band all set up on here and has been extremely helpful and just a
nice guy! There is so much information on here for bluegrass fans as
well as the bands. It seems to be a great networking tool all
around. I think I'll help out with a little donation... So, thanks
and hats off to you Gerald and Sabine Bluegrass!  02/03/07

My husband and I own Frog Hollow Campground, home of "Fiddlin' With
the Frogs". I was doing a search for links to the festival and came
across your site.  I do not know how you came upon this information,
but thank you so very much for including our festival in your
schedule.  I am considering placing a links page on the festival
website.  If you would like to be linked, please email me a
logo/name/whatever to identify yourself as a bluegrass site.

Gerald, Thanks for the Great Site you have here. Thanks for carrying
on the wonderful Bluegrass Tradition established by "Pick and Bow"
and helping keep Bluegrass Music alive and a heritage to be handed
down to future generations. The evidence of new youth groups coming
onto the Bluegrass scene speaks well of that heritage back to Bill
Monroe, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and all the great bands/groups
that followed. Keep up the good work! 01/02/07
