Bad Joke of the Week(see answer at bottom): (This one is dedicated to
my good friend Autumn Rhodes who has epilepsy AND a wickedly black
sense of humor) What do you call epileptic lettuce?

Howdy folks! We've got some local shows coming up so check out Lake
Luther Fest in Angola and the Shady Grove Fiddle Fest in Berrien
Springs on Sunday. I will be giving a fiddle workshop with a couple
of other great local fiddlers at 11am and then there will be a fiddle
and banjo and band competition at noon and then we will be playing at
4pm. Lots of other great bands as well as good local food so come on
out for a fun filled day!

We'll see you there!
