Hey John, yep I definitely remember you from Rockygrass... your band sounds great! I dig the Sam Bush tunes. I went to Rockygrass this year and it was awesome. The highlights for me were Hot Rize, Red Knuckles, and my brother's band winning the band competition - pretty exciting! Anyway, hope to see you again soon. Take care, Mandy
