Bottomline’s home is Greenup County, Kentucky. Recorded live at the Raceland-Worthington Cultural Arts Center in Raceland, Ky. in 2007, this set opens with an a cappella rendition of our National Anthem. Bottomline then launches into a rousing “Freeborn Man” that elicits audience applause during the song.

Just wanted to let you know that some friends and I will be picking on SAT. April 5 from 7-10 PM at Murphy’s House of Brews in Roseburg. This is the first time that Murphy’s has scheduled music on a Sat. night so we hope folks come out to support it and make it a regular event. We might do a couple numbers off the new album. There’s no cover but tips are welcome. For more info (541)672-0912. I’ll att ach a photo of the trio (Beth McNamara, Jerry Ashford, Joe Ross), and we’ll be doing swing, jazz, & bluegrass with guitar, bass and mandolin. Jerry was recently awarded Guitar Player of the Year by the No. Calif. Bluegrass Society

Steel is hard, tough and resistant. You’ve gotta have great strength and determination to drive it. On their debut CD, this quintet rises to the task of guiding and steering their music into a bluesy blend of emotional energy and expressive intensity.

Here's a review of a new album from Donna Ulisse, "When I Look Back" seems an appropriate title for the first album review of the new year.

Hi, here's a review of a nice album on the MasterShield record label of The Mueller Family from Maine. Just like them, gather 'round your woodstoves and fireplaces to share some music this holiday season. Merry Christmas to one and all. Joe
