The book is sold many places without the CD; the deal specified that you
couldn't sell the CD without the book, not (alas) vice versa. Still, I
believe I saw something slide by on bgrass-l a couple of days ago that
indicated that the CD can now be sold on its own, so I'd say it's time for

Just an additional heads-up ...
Getting this was a real coup for the Spankers. If you've seen them and
have friends in the Huntington area, please alert them to this show. If
you haven't seen them, be sure to tune in.

I just finished this book (Civil War novel), which was damn good, and I
was looking in my atlas for Cold Mountain and could not find it. This
may be a dumb question, but is there actually a Cold Mountain somewhere
in North Carolina?
Could anyone from that part of the country help me out
According to the Blue Mountain site and the Roadrunner site
they are playing in Nashville on 5/9.
That is nowhere near the Hideout here in Chicago.
All their other gigs around that time are in the south.
Can anybody help clear this one up?

Blue Mountain has rescheduled their Hideout gig for June - I don't recall
the exact date, but I'll pass it along shortly. Wasn't able to alert the
intrepid Ms. Ray prior to her most recent Chicago calendar.

Kelly's post reminded me to mention my favorite novel about country-type
music, specifically bluegrass. Written by Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Come And
Go, Molly Snow is a story about a young woman fiddler struggling to
reconcile herself to the accidental death of her daughter; it's got some of

One of the best things that I ever did was to get my mother to start
reading Lee Smith. Now we have something to talk about at Thanksgiving.
Couldn't get into "Fair and Tender Ladies" or "Family Linen", but "Saving
Grace" ruled in Hell. But then again, I'm a sucker for snake handling.

I don't know the location, but FWIW, what a great book. It's the kind of
book where you keep reading paragraphs aloud to whomever is in the room with
you, because the writing is so good.

does anyone know how to contact them? One of Chicago's more respectable

No more Scud Mountain Boys, I'm
afraid to say. The closest you'll get is the Pernice Brothers, which contains
the same singer, only this time it's more pop oriented instead
of...slow.

Terry, I'll pretty much agree with you there. I tend to lean
toward Train because it's a little less-defined, more far-reaching,
a trait I love so much about Earle. Mountain is really nice, but I
can't help but look at it as kind of a side-gig project
to figure out why he so consciously is
borrowing from Brian Wilson and Sgt. Pepper's. I am perplexed by this guy
and this record. Keeps life interesting.
