Wow...got home, brought my clothes in from the camper. Laid down on the couch for a moment and promptly fell asleep. It is now after midnight and I have gotten up from the couch to head to bed.

I will be working on photos and putting some up as quick as I can.

I don't know about you all, but it isn't all about the music for me--It is about the people, themselves. I love my bluegrass friends--All of  'em--the families, the kids, the patrons who come back year after year...the whole kit 'n kaboodle. Thank you for coming to the 8th Annual BOTB. G'Night from a very tired volunteer.

Hey Folks!

Unlike Bette, I'm a procrastinator, so all my stuff is still in the truck, the camper is packed with junk, and the stage and tent are sitting happily on Paul's trailer in my driveway. I'll deal with that later!

I just want to say thanks to everybody that turned out -- volunteers, bands, vendors, sponsors and all of you. The picking was awesome, and it was great to see folks soak up the music and the sunshine.

Can't wait to see the photos!

Thanks also to Jim and the folks at Camp Kiwanee for their wonderful hospitality. It's a great space to stage a great event, and we're looking forward to setting it up and doing it again May 9-11, 2014. Until then...keep a pickin'.

Mike
