[dcab-l] Re: Banjo Picker Bill Blackburn

Bill Blackburn moved to Arizona years ago, was playing banjo in a band called Sagegrass. He might still be in Sagegrass. I last saw him in Arizona in 2011 at the Benson BG festival, used to see him some years at IBMA. He was a high school friend of John Duffey. Together, they played with Lucky Chapman and the Ozark Mountain Boys, out of Frederick MD. I still have the 45 rpm record they made about 1956. The songs are "I've Waited So Long" and "Blue Grass", an instrumental written by John Duffey.

Anyone know what happened to banjoist Bill Blackburn?

Dear Educators,

If you're a classroom teacher and/or lead an organization serving kids in the DC area in need of books, apply for a Team First Book-DC book grant today!

Team First Book-DC raises funds to provide eligible classrooms, school libraries, and programs with high-quality, brand-new books to the students they serve, and we are currently accepting applications for our next grant cycle. After receiving a grant, educators can select books from the First Book National Marketplace and create lesson plans and classroom activities using these books. If not intended for a school or classroom library, these books are then given to the kids to take home and keep.

If you work at a school or organization that predominantly serves students from low-income families and/or works primarily with children from military families or those with disabilities, please click here for an application or share this link with other organizations and/or classroom teachers that you think might be interested.

Applications will be accepted until 11:59pm on Friday, September 11, 2015.
