Bluegrass Parkway has been a major influence to some of the Stringbusters so when we locked in a date in May we couldn’t believe our luck, being friends of Mike Compton they knew what they were in for yet they still agreed to come along anyway. Anyone who has seen BGP will know how true to tradition and professional their act is, it was no different this night and crowd loved the bluegrass style and precision of playing.
The last set included the rare meeting of two Double Bass’s with Maria Duff and the rest of BGP joining John Werner on Bass with the Stringbusters, it was a blast and sounded great, but sadly ended all to soon.
As with all of our visiting acts we offer them a bed for the night and on this occasion Danny and Dana Boothman deserve thanks for being such great hosts, whenever we have had a guest act coming through it has never been a problem finding one of the boys willing to open their homes and look after them, Arnie Young has been exceptionally helpful in this area and I’m sure has really enhanced the whole “Yinnar” experience for whoever has the good fortune of staying at his place.
