The online edition of the IBMA newsletter, International Bluegrass, is now available on their web site. The print version of the newsletter is published six times a year, and sent to all members of the IBMA. The May/June issue is in the mail now, and many of the articles in the printed newsletter can be read here.

There is some interesting demographic data about music preferences (17 million cite bluegrass as their favorite musical genre), an overview of the legal requirements for public performance licenses, and a lot of news about the upcoming 2006 World Of Bluegrass event.
