[dcab-l] Bluegrass ain't dead yet

More proof:

"Over Her Dead Body", a caberet of bluegrass murder ballads by Pinky Swear Productions and local band Dead Men's Hollow walked away with the Capital Fringe Festival Audience and Community Awards for:

1) Best Musical, and

2) Best Overall Performance

Of all the talent and hard work that goes into Fringe, bluegrass still comes out on top, proving that Washington DC is the Bluegrass Capital of the USA!

[dcab-l] Original Song with Seldom Scene Pickers

Music Lovers:

Another cut to brighten your day! This song is another of my originals called "Country Pickin",

and includes the same Seldom Scene pickers as recent cuts:

Willie Oldes Bass

Freddie Travers Dobro

Phil Rosenthal Mandolin and Lead Guitar

Ben Eldridge Banjo

Carl Nelson Fiddle

Lou Reid Harmony

"Country Pickin" has a reference to the last line in Tom T Hall's famous song: "The Day Clayton

Delaney Died". Here is Tom T's last line:

"But it could be that the Good Lord likes a little pickin' too"

In "Country Pickin", the last line (verse) sort of confirms that hope:

"As we share in the Spirit, pay the Lord His due

The Good Lord, He likes Country Pickin' too!"

You might find it interesting to listen to Tom T. Hall's live rendition of "Clayton Delaney", with

background information (!), at the URL below. Also, note his ad-hoc spoken comment, to the

show's host, at song end:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr4y2_BqHYg

Allow me to mention: I always enjoyed hearing Jim Burkey's version of "Clayton Delaney" at

the DCBU jams in Takoma Park. He always sang great country songs, and his rendition always

had a hold on me.

As always, headphones are preferred. Click to listen to this original:
