From the E-mailbag
Hoo-wee. Karen and I went to see a bluegrass act, the Del McCoury band from Nashville, Friday night at Meijer Gardens in GR. They put on a great show. I told Larry from Tennessee. Does he know his bluegrass or what! – Mike
To Mike from Larry:
Hot Damn ... Del McCoury and the Good Old Boys are the reigning International Bluegrass Music Association Entertainer of the Year. In honor of ol' Del ... I sat out on the porch just pickin' and a grinnin'. Course I didn't have no guitar (man ... that joke just doesn't grow old).
It sounds like the north is turning more redneck by the day ... now you can show Brad Savage that they shouldn't have cut you from the group and get your buddies together and form a band:
Mac and the Lost Good Old Boys, Mac Savage and the Cockroaches, Mac Daddy and two others, Mac and the Mandolins, Mac and the Lost Cause - gone country, Mac and Bluegrass Jamboree, LePew - Grand Rapids only French Bluegrass Club |

I'm going down the road feelin' bad, I'm going down the road feelin' bad,
I'm going down the road feelin' bad, Lord, Lord, Refrain: And I ain't gonna be treated this a way.
I'm goin' where the climate suits my clothes ...
Two dollar shoes hurt my feet ...
Ten dollar shoes suit me fine ...
I'm cold, lonely and I'm blue ...
Goin' where the chilly winds don't blow...
I'm looking for a job with honest pay.... |
