Old Time Bluegrass Singers
When: Saturday, March 5 at 7:00pm (come earlier and have your dinner)
Where: Sugar & Spice Cafe - Poughkeepsie Plaza
Tickets: Online, or call 475-8830
This is shaping up to be a really fun concert. C'mon, you guys. It's a Saturday night, the price is right, the music is great, your friends will all be there, and the food is affordable and delicious!

Get out of your houses this weekend and join us in welcoming The Old Time Bluegrass Singers to Poughkeepsie. This experienced and talented group of musicians will delight you. The band will begin playing at 7pm, but we strongly suggest that you get to Sugar & Spice at 6:30 to enjoy their soups, salads, sandwiches, and desserts. Those who have eaten at the Café enjoyed their meals and the price is more than reasonable.

It's a bargain!!! Tickets are $10/Members, $15/Non-Members, Free/Under 12. Only 50 tickets will be sold and this is going to be another fun HVBA event.

The Brown Derby Jam
Blackberry Blossom is this week's Slow Jam song. The Slow Jam is from 6-7pm and is led by Peter Conklin. It really is slow, but begins to speed up as the hour progresses. If you are a beginner or medium level player, this is for you. Faster players are welcome to play at 6pm, too. If enough people show up, we can have two jams going at the same time. The Brown Derby offers specials for that first hour, so come and have your dinner with us.

Gift from Fred Robbins
I was just rummaging through my online recordings and thought you might get a kick out of some hot picking...and singing...by Jerry Oland with Wildcat Creek at the Towne Crier ca. 1978...

Wildcat Creek 1 - Towne Crier - 1978
Wildcat Creek 2 - Towne Crier - 1978

You're always welcome to rummage through the rest at my website.

Enjoy, Fred
