Dill Pickles: Upcoming Shows
I would be remiss if i didn’t mention some upcoming performance by the Dill Pickles. We took a long break from playing shows so we could spend more time just playing, but some good ones are coming up.
As the photo indicates, we’re playing at the Green Line Cafe in West Philly this Saturday, March 13. [...]
Fourth of July Bluegrass
I’m off to Out Among the Stars, the best bluegrass festival in Pennsylvania. It’s a really healthy break from politics, although at some point i’m sure there will be an unavoidable debate about something.
It’s a time to slip out of my skin, and get back to what really matters: family, friends, community, and music. [...]
Some OATS Pictures
Wondering where I’ve been all weekend?
Here are a couple of pictures of Sam and me from 2008 Out Among The Stars Bluegrass festival.

We got home from OATS yesterday around 5:30 or so. I really pulled my back on Thursday afternoon when I picked up the boy, and when I say that I mean pulling him from his feet as he was running around the pick up area. Or maybe it was the 13-hour drive, who knows. [...]

Tomorrow I leave to go pick up Sam, again an extended trip across the border, and then back about to Benton, PA for the Out Among the Stars Bluegrass Festival. The trip across the border adds an extra three hours round trip to the already-brutal eight hours I travel to Syracuse and back, but [...]

No blogging this weekend. It’s bluegrass festival time, and we’re starting it out right at Wind Gap.
See you on Sunday night, or perhaps Monday morning…
Sam Goes to Lodi!
I finally got a chance to upload some pictures. These were taken at Pickin’ in the Pasture, an annual bluegrass festival in Lodi New York. If you’d like to read about the festival itself, which is fantastic, I suggest you go here, because when I go to festivals with Sam, I miss a [...]

I played at the Wind Gap Bluegrass Festival this past weekend with the Mill Creek Boys, who hired me as a sub bass player and then let me know I’m full-time. Thankfully, that’s not a huge responsibility as we never practice.
Unfortunately, that really showed during our first set, which was rougher than a fifty-grit [...]
Sunday Photos
I have a large batch of photos taken during Sam’s last visit that I finally have a chance to post, including a few updates from the chaotic vegetable garden in my backyard and the long-delayed “Sam Goes fishing” series. There may be a couple of repeats in here, so bear with me. As always, [...]
Read More..>>Sam Goes To OATS
This weekend, Sam came to the Out Among the Stars Festival in Benton, PA. This is my new favorite festival, surpassing Woodstown, NJ: the grounds are bordered by a beautiful little creek where you can go swimming and an airstrip, where prop planes take off and land throughout the day. The festival grounds [...]
