bluegrass gig
DATE: 05/03/2008 09:26:45 / MOOD: happy
Well its Saturday afternoon and im going to see The Smith O,Reilly band tonight in my local theatre in Greenock Scotland i have invited a few business people who i trade with to come along to the show and also some of the nursing staff from my time in hospital to give them an introduction into this brilliant music Bluegrass i have allready converted my carpenter and his wife and they will be going to the show also and one of my new banjo students said he would go and bring his girlfriend so the grass is beginning to grow
as you will have seen in my other bloggs i tryed to set up a bluegrass club back in february but due to a bad attendance to these events i had to put it on the back burner for now but it is not a dead work i think the timing is just wrong . AT this time i am building up a mailing list and everytime i put on a show there is more people turning up so maybe in a year or so there will be enough interest to go with a club
well im going to get myself into town and listen to Smith and Reilly
catch ya all in thr grass
