Another goodie, thanks to Gerry Katz at the BBU: a tape of Everett and B, The Lilly Brothers, on Hillbilly at Harvard, from March 11, 1978! Everett wa
s in town (he had moved back to West Virginia after two decades in Boston—B was still in the area) for a Lilly and Family Reunion concert at the John Hancock Hall. Don Stover was on his way, Herb Houvin would join them, and the show would feature many Lilly children along with Joe Val and The New England Bluegrass Boys.
We'll run the live show in the second hour tomorrow. Reminder: Everett's granddaughter Ashley Lilly will be at the Joe Val Festival with her band The Songcatchers. She wowed folks when, as a teenager, she appeared at the Joe Val Festival in 2016 (not 2019 as you'll hear me say on the show).
See the previous post for more Festival information, and go to the Boston Bluegrass Union website, HERE.
