Bluegrass Music Profiles magazine owned by the Kerfoots in Kentucky – is a very high quality music magazine. If you love Bluegrass music then you will love it. They take you for an inside look at the artists, that you would never get to see, any other way.

I’m humbled and honored to be in this very special edition of their magazine, with such great and talented women, especially the fine lady on the front cover of this issue. I loved watching Roni as a young girl on television and to see that she’s still “got it” and going strong is an amazing testament to her.

God bless our great Bluegrass – and our wonderful Bluegrass women – that walked that rough and rocky road. They made it easy for the rest of us to follow, by making the pathyway smooth.

Thank you Kevin and Lori for such a fantastic honor and such a great magazine!
