We're planning to go!

For those who don't know, Bob Dick is the bass player in Front Range, based in Colorado. Dave Dick was the banjo player in Salamander Crossing, and now also plays with Northern Lights. They are both wonderful musicians, and I'm expecting some great bluegrass. Here's their website:

Vixen, tell us more about Last Fair Deal. I know it includes Phil Zimmerman, who also plays with Phil Rosenthal's Bluegrass Reunion and I think Traver Hollow.

Last Fair Deal was a very popular string band back in the 70's and 80's. They all took time off for families and suchlike, and they've just reunited, with the son of the guitarist playing bass. Phil Zimmerman, Paul Howard, Tom Hagymasi, and Todd Howard are the players. This will be their 3rd gig since reuniting!

Their website is www.lastfairdeal.com

I'm glad you can make it Barbara--I'm looking forward to seeing you again!
