Within the next week or so, you’ll be able to view selected content from the new issue online, including most of the reviews, the National Bluegrass Survey, and at least one or two of the feature articles. The May issue is still up on the site now.
John adds: The new issue also includes a great review of our new Acoustic Endeavors CD, On A Farm. Yee hah!
