   About Barnes Bluegrass
The Barnes Bluegrass Fest is held at the Mercer County Fairgrounds every Labor Day Weekend. Join us for a fun-filled weekend of music. We've got great bands lined up for the main stage, you can participate in our music workshops or just hang out and jam.

The 2007 Festival will mark our 35th anniversary, help us celebrate in Aledo August 31-September 2, 2007.

In 1972, Jim and Eleanor Barnes began their adventure and started their first Bluegrass Music Festival. The festival is the oldest active festival in the state of Illinois.

Until recently, the Barnes Family Band, the Bluegrass Redheads, opened and closed every show. And while time constraints prevent them from playing on stage together, you'll still find them jamming around the campfire.

HELP PUT THE STANLEY BROTHERS IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!






Ralph Stanley has received many well-deserved honors in the last few years, yet one honor eludes him. While many of their fellow musicians and singers have been recognized by The Country Music Hall of Fame, THE STANLEY BROTHERS have been sadly -- some say criminally -- overlooked.


Jeanie Stanley, youngest daugher of Carter, and fan Kaye Hill have organized an on-going petition to change all that.


"The Country Music Hall of Fame recognizes those persons who have made a significant contribution to the country music field," says Hill. "The Stanley Brothers helped lay the foundation for what we have today. Their names deserve to be listed among greats like Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs, who have already be recognized."


You can join their efforts in one of the following ways:


Contact the CMHoF directly:


Mr. Kyle Young, President
Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
222 Fifth Avenue South
Nashville TN 37203



Or, if you prefer, you can send a letter to Kaye Hill, who will forward them to the HoF.


D. Kaye Hill
PO Box 2553
Harrisonsonburg VA 22801


Kay says, "a simple one-line note is all that would be required, but please remember to supply your name and address, and an email address if applicable. I will be collecting all letters and forwarding them to the Country Music Hall of Fame."


"Don't you think it's time?"
