Hi all, I had a great day yesterday. I went to a festival in Manchester Michigan, where I was entered into a songwriting contest. I took along two good friends and great musicians from the bluegrass band the "Hillrays", Jim and Mark, who played fiddle and guitar with me on my original song, "The Riverside". It just about made me cry when they called my name as the first place winner, lol. I got a beautiful gold embossed certificate, a blue ribbon, $100 dollars, and got to perform on the "big stage" later lol. I hope to get them to record it with me in the near future, and I will let you know when I get it up so you can listen to it if you want. There were lots of great musicians there, and I spent the time waiting for the big stage jamming with some bluegrass pickers and picked up a wonderful bass player to go on stage with us. He was great, Eddy P, from Toledo Ohio. I also had the opportunity to meet one of my My Space Friends, Roger, at the festival. You just never know who you are going to meet lol. Nice meeting you Roger. So, a big thanks to Jim, Mark, And Eddie P. It was a beautiful, wonderful day. Letha
