Episode #2 – IBMA reactions

The GrassCastIn episode #2 of The GrassCast we share excerpts from interviews John and I conducted with a number of bluegrass personalities. We asked them to share their thoughts about the 2005 IBMA trade show and fan fest. With 2005 being the first year for the event to be held in Nashville, TN, there were a lot of positive and negative responses. We previously posted about this topic here. Now you can hear what the bluegrass artists, songwriters, and business persons in attendance thought, in their own words. Due to the great number of these, this will be a two part series with the second part coming in next week’s episode.

At the risk of sounding like my mother, did you ask any women what they thought of the move? Or since this week is all men, will next week be all women?!

Hey Casey,

I did ask some women, and their comments will be included next week. In fact, your mom is one of them and in her comments she addresses a similar issue in regard to the award show. Be sure to tune in next week to hear all about it.
