    I enjoy Bluegrass music. Emmy Lou is the one who got me started. My tune, THIS MYSTERY, could fall into this category.
    Hope you enjoy it! Heehaw! Delilah:)

    Hi Folks, Im Paul the Event Coordinator for the benefit concert. Im so touched by everyone's excitement and willingness to help....especially musicians. We have over 15 bands/musicians that have donated a track to our compilation cd. The cd will be used to promote our benefit and another source of revenue for our charity DOC-UP.


    DOC-UP is the Dalton Organization of Churches United for People a 501 c organization which helps families with rent/utilities and emergency referals to food banks.


    Dalton Ga is the Carpet Capital of the World with the flooring industry being the largest employers in the State. The economic downturn has really hurt the flooring industry and therefore many proud Georgia families are seeking help who've never asked for help, but have always given a "helping hand".


    We are looking for 1000 people or more to come out on September 26th to Heritage Point park in Dalton, GA for night of great music and fun. All proceeds go to DOC-UP. Please join us bluegrass bands & helping hands.


    We will have ticket and event information on our website soon .

    Kind Regards
