Gympie Music Muster worked out very well for Bluegrass Parkway with great turnouts for our concerts and many friendly folks coming up to personally let us know that they were pleased to see us back at the Muster. Doing the bluegrass breakfast shows was good fun and even though it meant a pretty early start for us we able to spend time having a great look around for the rest of the day after our shows.

Maria received a call last week totally our of the blue which has really changed any plans she had for the next few weeks. As many of you know, Maria is a Suzuki violin teacher and has played an active part in the association for many years including a stint as president. The call was from the main committee and they asked her if she would represent Western Australia at the International Suzuki Conference in Boston. This is taking place in 3 weeks so it's been a real rush to get things organised! Congratulations Maria...especially seeing as how it is all expences paid!

Bluegrass Parkway will be playing at the Maldon Folk Festival starting October 30th and we're really looking forward to it. We've never performed there but I'm told by many that it is a gorgeous town with many historic buildings. It should be a wonderful setting to play. We will be performing our 'Live In '45 WSM Grand Ole Opry Radio Show' at the festival as well as concert spots.

Two weeks later will be back in Victoria at Harrietville again and it will be great to catch up with everyone. The new venue for the festival in Harrietville worked very well last year and I'm told there are some surprise aditions for this year also.

Remember to come on up and say hi if you make it to any of our shows!
