That’s right folks, we’ve been blogging for over a year now. It’s hard to believe really. As I was thinking about it this morning I went back and looked at some of the first posts John and I drafted for the blog. Our first post was made on 7/17/2005 and was simply background information on who John and I are. A series of posts followed for the next few days explaining what our purposes for starting the blog were, what we hoped to accomplish, and how you could participate. Our first news post wasn’t even about bluegrass, but about blogging! The first post with bluegrass news in it was about IBMA 2005. As the 2006 event approaches we are once again looking for ways that we can make the blog useful both to those in attendance and those who cannot attend. Posts concerning our efforts at this year’s IBMA event will be forthcoming very soon.

This morning was just a short stroll down memory lane for me and I thought I would share it with you. Thanks for reading all this time, and for telling others about us. We look forward to another year of bringing you the News at the speed of bluegrass!
