Hi DCBU’ers:
Well folks, this is it -- the 50th and final Derzon House Concert at our Falls Church house. Since our first concert on June 13, 2003, we’ve invited over 75 musicians and 4,000 guests into our home to support DC area bluegrass. We’ve met a ton of folks, eaten terrific pot-luck dishes, enjoyed wonderful music together, and have gotten to know the musicians up close and personal. In addition, we’ve hosted 10 music workshops and several fundraisers for the DC Bluegrass Union. We’ve all experienced a lot of changes in the past 9 years, experienced a few sad losses, and the friends we’ve made through our concerts and the music we’ve shared has helped raise our spirits and provided us with a wonderful community. Beginning in September, our house will be rented to friends and we’ll be splitting our time between our rebuilt house in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland (a former Franciscan Friary) and some place local we have yet to find! (anyone with a condo to sell?)
Join us Sunday, June 17, 2012 – Father’s Day at the home of Jim and Regina Derzon for a wonderful afternoon and evening of entertainment and great barbeque to support DCBU’s fundraising efforts for our Third Annual DC Bluegrass Festival $50 per person – includes full barbeque buffet dinner and beer, wine and soft drinks. Feel free to bring anything special you’d like to drink. Dress is casual. We’ll have pulled pork and chicken barbeque and all the trimmings.
