[dcab-l] Jamming in Brunswick today

Doesn't look good. We only got 4" but technically, we're still under snow emergency rules. The street in front of Beans should be plowed, including parking, but under snow emergency rules, you're not supposed to park there. Side streets are plowed, but not parking spaces meaning that any available spots will be hand shoveled out by residents. I don't advise you take someone's hand shoveled spot. I am going to skip today, but if some want to gather anyway, Beans is open. If you encounter parking problems, there's the train station parking lot.

Begs an obvious question.

There's no Veep listed and only 4 available directors with additional

DCBU Salutes Randy Barrett

For the past 12 years, Randy Barrett has been the face, voice and sounding board of the the DC Bluegrass Union. As President of our organization, Randy has provided the leadership for the Board that has resulted in many successful events, including The DC Bluegrass Festival, the Hazel Dickens Song Contest and the Mike Auldridge Instrumental Contest. Over these years, DCBU has served members old and new, has attracted far-flung audiences to our festival and concerts, kept the music playing at our picnics, and coordinated the activities at the DCBU Bluegrass Week at Common Ground on the Hill Bluegrass and Old Time Music instructional camp.

From the start, Randy has worked hard at growing the music community while keeping a focus on DC's rich bluegrass heritage. As Randy steps down from DCBU's Board of Directors, we salute his vision and dedication to improving the local bluegrass music community.

Randy will remain active in the music community. Expect to find him and his banjo frequenting our events and leading our DCBU Bluegrass Week workshops at Common Ground on the Hill. Look for Randy performing with his band, Big Howdy, with the same energy and creativity that we've come to know- and appreciate- on the DCBluegrass Union Board.

Thank you, Randy!
