42nd Annual Bill Monroe Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival
The Seldom Scene
"Rider"
Now all you old traditionalists like me, lighten up and enjoy these guys. Sure they drifted to the edge of the table a little bit, but these guys have helped make bluegrass big in the Northeast over the years. They're a great bunch of guys and put on a wonderful performance. I hope to see them back at Bean Blossom for many years to come.

I'll manage to get a few more videos posted today and this week. I hope you are enjoying them. Just about the time I catch my breath from Bean Blossom, I have more coming soon. I'll be going to one in my neck of the woods here in Missouri in a few weeks called The Back Forty Bluegrass Festival. I'll get to see my friends, The Ozark Alliance perform along with a number of other great acts - Karl Shiflett & Big Country, Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper, David Davis & Warrior River Boys, James King Band, Midnight Flight, Brightwater Junction, and Missouri River Band. Should be great. I can't believe that four of my favorite bands from Bean Blossom are all appearing at this smaller festival in my home state of Missouri. After this one, it won't be long until I'm "Back Home In Indiana" for the Uncle Pen Days Bluegrass festival at Bean Blossom. If you haven't done so already, I hope everyone visiting my site will watch the following video - Bean Blossom Brown County Jamboree Preservation Foundation, Inc., then follow the link and read about some great history in bluegrass music. If your a serious and dedicated follower of bluegrass music, I hope that you will consider becoming a contributor and part owner of the greatest bluegrass festival on earth.

Hotze quotes:
"This
site is so dynamic, you're liable to notice a change between bottles of
beer".
"This site is for those who love John, his music, & the music he loved".
.....and yes, putting a note in the guest book or dropping an email to me occasionally about the site, does go a long way towards energizing me to work harder to provide more music, video, & information. .....Thank you - John Hotze
