Hey Ya'll, 1st hoping you have a great weekend! Thanks so much for your support!, PLEASE read my last 3 blogs! Please read our law! Our New Az Law is actually based on the Federal Immigration Law and there is absolutley NO Bais or Racist in the law it is all legal! And also here at myspace at www.myspace.com/whitehouse I challenged Obama to look at my blog and answer the ? to me HOW MANY OF THESE PEOPLE WHERE TERRORIST? And they did actully put up my comment! You can go read it if ya want to. Also the attoreny general of the USA was putting down and making fun of our new Law and CNN busted him when they ask if he read it,He said he had not even read our law! Which in my opion Obama has not even read it along with Al Sharpton who came to Phonix to demonstrate about the law calling it racist!~ These people are so dumb to say stuff when they dont even have enough sense to read the law 1st! Also LA & Calif. are boycotting us well our head of Electricity has sent a letter to them telling them OK boycott us and we will pull the plug on selling you Electricity! They buy 1/3 of there Electricity! All Peace & Love Lee

"Packway Handle's strength is in its cohesiveness. Vocal Harmonies and string syncopations lock together like Legos.…" -Aspen Daily News.
It all started in Athens, Georgia in 2001 during a most peculiar spell when 5 or 6 bluegrass bands circulated the town. The famous Athens, which had once spawned the B-52s, REM, Widespread Panic, and countless other indie, pop and punk acts, was now the home to a competing minority of bluegrass players. The Packway Handle Band emerged from this small scene, finding national acclaim first as finalists at the Telluride bluegrass competition in 2002 and 2003, then taking 2nd place in 2004. The band’s 2003 debut album, “Chaff Harvest” was produced using prize awards from a local Battle of the Bands. PHB was on a roll and has continued to win over fans and rack up awards.
In early 2006 the band went on the road full time, wowing audiences across the country with close 4-part harmonies and their dance around two tightly-spaced condenser mics. The Packway Handle Band has emerged at the national forefront of bands that use this “gather around the mic” style. PHB’s second full length record “(Sinner) You Better Get Ready” was recorded this way. Theirs is not a mission to preserve historical styles—it’s just how they do what they do the best. And what they do best is rooted in thought provoking songwriting, clever choice and arrangement of bluegrass traditionals, and totally unexpected (even totally inappropriate) covers, all delivered with a crackling energy. If you get an idea of what Packway Handle is early in a show, you’ll probably change your mind several times before they’re done. But it’s obvious their enthusiasm and sense of humor are honest, and that what they do appeals to broad audiences, even those who don’t normally listen to bluegrass. Yes, they play bluegrass instruments, and hey, they even play them mostly in the bluegrass way; but you won’t find a whole lot of lyrics about rambling or trains or wagon wheels, and you’re not going to say you’ve heard this band before, unless you actually have.
