IBMA World of Bluegrass Convention 2004

October 4-10, 2004 - Louisville, KY

 

The boys from King Wilke won Imerging Artist of the year and they did a great showcase. Keep a watch on these young guys, they are going to mature into one great band. Meet the gentlemen after the set and they were just nice as could be. Got a CD for the ride home and they are setting down a good foundation to grow into a great band. Good traditional sound!

Wildfire has the BEST song out there, just love it.... It's Broke and I Don't Know How to Fix it!

 

The sound and video synch on the big screens was really well done, it was a great experience in any seat.

 

Doyle Lawson and his boys were great!

 

Got to meet Curly Schekler! Inductee into the Hall of Fame!

 

 

Of course, JD and the New South were there to prove their place of honor... I was very behaved meeting JD again, no security problems, I was on my best behavior. I did get to shake his hand again and I'm hoping SOMETHING rubbed off and I'll be pickin' better soon.... if I keep shaking hands with the man, there just has to be some good karma from it all, right?

First time I've ever seen Dell McCoury and the Boys and it won't be the last, these guys can rock the house. They won best performing group of the year and you can see why, watching them onstage. Del played all requests from the audience and it was delightful!

 

Can't wait for next year in Nashville! Make sure you plan to be there!!!
