I knew that my trip to the Florence, Arizona Bluegrass Festival this weekend was gonna be great fun. I travelled with 20 or so of my close friends and we arranged to camp together. Once we circled our wagons at the festival, the jamming began.
After our first jam session, the organizers of the event came by our campsite to see if any of us would like to participate in the band scramble that night. Not because they heard us playing, but just because they were very nice and possibly desperate for participants.
I had never done a band scramble before and at first I declined. But then I realized this might be my last chance ever to play in a Bluegrass band. After all, what if I DROP DEAD TOMORROW?!
I signed up as did 5 of my friends. A total of five bands was created from the entries, but none of the bands contained more than 2 of my traveling musician friends.
Most excellent Sunny, wish I could have been there. Keep on pickin and grinnin. Jim
I wish you could have been there too! Thanks, Jim!!
Way to go girl!!!!! You would have regretted it for a long time if you had not joined in with the group. He is quite a banjo player but I would sure like to have heard that little girl sing. Keep up the good work, we are fine and miss you and wish we were there, live the dream for us too. GOD BLESS

You are right about regretting if I had not done it. Wish you guys were here too! Miss you, S
Awesome! Looks like fun my friend. So happy that you made sure to find a winery. Miss u.
Me too on the winery. Google made it hard to find, but we persevered.
Great Trip Wish I could have joined you.
I wish you were there too!
Pretty amazing. Maybe you should take your show on the road.
I think I would be out of luck unless I could get a bunch of kids to let me join them ?
Just be careful, the stage can get very addictive. From one who knows…….
Hey there! So glad to hear from you! Sadly I lack the talent to be allowed on a stage very often so I may be safe ?

I loved the last minute appeal and scramble of your band and it all worked for the good! What detailed beauty of the churches. Looks like God is guiding you to cherished people times and good strumming extravaganzas! Keep adventuring!!!

I will, thanks!
Hey Girl,
I just spoke with David Knight and he said I could still find you here! I was going through some old motorcycle photos and found some and also on the Lake with Gene’s sailboat. I want you to have them as lots are of Stormy and you. If you have a sane way of me mailing them to you let me know girl. They are sure some good memories for us all. Otherwise, I will hold onto them until you are nearby. So happy to see that pretty smile and you are still traveling. I miss our RV so much! Hugs to you ladybug. Love, Joan & Jim Clark
Thanks, Joan. So good to hear from you. I will email my address to you. You and Jim take care. Love you too!
