There will be a dinner party at the TurtleGrass camp at the festival on FRIDAY August 12th. The time is 4:00 to 5:30. We will fire up the grill right at 4:00 so that we can get down to the main event area in time for the bands.
The first band goes on at 5:30 and I am sure you don’t want to miss Fern Hill’s performance. They have great harmonies and traditional bluegrass sound. One of my NW favorites.
We provide the Brats and paper goods. To participate bring a side dish to be shared with others as well as your own beverage and chair.
Please send a text to 503-522-2387 or send an email to firridge@ccgmail.net if you plan to join us, so we know about how many brats to bring.
Our grill master Bill McCall hopes to set a new record at the grill. If you need a suggestion as to what to contribute I will be happy to provide. Many folks tell me what they are making/bringing so I could share ideas with you.
Specifics regarding this festival can be found at washingtonbluegrass.org. This is a fun festival with a great band lineup…. we hope to see you there.
Slow jamming at the TurtleGrass tent throughout the festival
The new tune is Arkansas Traveler( Key of D ) and the song is Build Me A Cabin In The Corner Of Glory Land (most likely key of A if Jan leads it and key of D if Bill leads it). You should be able to google these two melodies easy enough. If not, no big deal.
Life is one sweet song….so start the music!
