The Jackson Purchase Friends of Bluegrass Newsletter for May, 2010!

As always, May is Bluegrass Month, and once again we will try to do it up right! Beginning with our next 1^st Friday Bluegrass gathering on Friday, May 7th, 2010. Scheduled to appear, as of the date of this mailing, are: “Poor Farm Road”;” The Lakeside Review”; “Old Santa Fe”; and “The Ridge Runners”(the newest of the great bands signed to Tom T. & Dixie Hall’s Blue Circle Records label!)

Then on Friday May 21^st, thanks to our continued partnership with the City of Benton, Kentucky, Evan Spencer will again Emcee the Eighteenth annual “Bluegrass On The Square” featuring two of the best Bands to have ever originated in western Kentucky, “The Josh Williams Band” and “The Ridge Runners”. Admission to Bluegrass on the Square will be one non perishable food item per person, or a cash donation of any amount. All donations will go directly to the Marshall County “Caring Needline”.

A very special thank you to Darrell Gibson and the staff at WAAJ, 89.7 Radio, “All Bluegrass all the time”, for their help in working the crowd to pick up the donations of cash and non perishable food items during the concert.

If you missed the WAAJ fundraiser concert at the Kentucky Opry on April 9^th, you missed a simply awesome show! “The McKendrees” along with “Donna Ulisse and the Poor Mountain Boys”, gave our attendees one of the best live shows I’ve seen in a long time!
