Would like to thank John and the great Staff of the Bluegrass Blog, for the help we get at the WWB getting the word out on our visits with Bluegrass Bands and Artist. In addition to all the other activities we do. We sure do apprecite you. A little side story from that interview. Later in the week Special Consensus appeared at a show here in Des Moines, after the show I joined Greg and the Band along with two other band friends from the local area, Bluegrass Addiction. During the meal Ashby Frank who was sitting next me mentioned that he just happen to jump on the web before a show in North Dakota to check what was on the Bluegrass Blog and was surprise to find the article about the interview. Seem’s just about everybody checks the Bluegrass Blog to keep updated on what’s happening in the wide world of Bluegrass music.
