FROM THE DESK OF Hal Cottrell;
YOU KNOW YOU'RE A BLUEGRASSER IF - - -
Your favorite
cologne smells like mosquito repellent...
Your last anniversary gift was His and Hers matching lawn chairs with your
last name across the back with a felt tip marker.
You know that Gibson and Martin have no relationship to Mel and Dean.
Your
Geo Metro has been modified to hold an Upright Bass.
When you see a guy with a nail apron on, you
start digging for gate money.
When you see a couple of motorhomes on the highway, your car keeps wanting to follow
them to a festival.
You know that "pick one" has nothing to do with your nose.
A night out with the boys
means.... an all night pickin' in the back room of the barber shop.
Your instrument cost more than you wife's
wedding ring.
You change the strings on your instrument more often than you change your socks.
It's 3:00am and
your wife is upset, but you just hafta' pick one more, and one more, and one more.
"NEW JAM STARTING"
Bluegrass Jams starting at Cup A Joe's in Indianola, will be every Tuesday until June
when we break for the Summer with Bluegrass Tuesday's on the courthouse lawn. This will be the first jam so I'm a little
'anxious' but it's all for fun, all skill levels welcome, everybody started somewhere, especially me, it seems like I'm starting
over every day. Up tempo acoustic jam. We will have four microphones set up, two for who ever is leading the song,
I've noticed that the vocalist/leader gets lost at larger jams, a couple to the side for harmony or people who want to play
a fill lick to step up. The room is all set up, all the time, so it's a good place to be able to come and go. If you know
anyone who would like to attend please pass this info along. I can be reached at (515) 278-2399 if you've got any questions.
If anyone knows bluegrass bands who would like to perform at Bluegrass Tuesdays on the courthouse lawn please have them give
me a call. Thanks, Jim
NOTE: Now that the shows on the Indianola Court House Square is ended he has started having shows at the
Indianola High School Theater once a month. You can contact hime for dates at the fore mentioned Phone number or send
E-mail to tightmarket@crosspaths.net.

Dear friends,
I'm writing today to let you know about an IBMA-hosted training for
artists scheduled in your area November 4. I hope to see some of you there. Please feel free to forward this info
to artists who might be interested in coming also. Thanks!

Bluegrass in the Schools Artist Training Coming to Harvest Jamboree in Minneapolis
In an effort to reach more young people with bluegrass music IBMA, in
conjunction with the Minnesota Bluegrass & Old Time Music Association (MBOTMA), will host a Bluegrass in the Schools Training for Artists at
the new Harvest Jamboree scheduled for Nov. 3-4, 2006 in Minneapolis.
The goal for these new regional trainings, hosted at major bluegrass
festivals or association events across the country, is to give local musicians and bands (along with interested event
producers and association leaders) some tools to develop effective educational bluegrass programs for students.
The workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 4, from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. in Workshop Room A at
the Marriott Minneapolis West in Minneapolis, Minn. during the Harvest Jamboree. Attendees will receive a Bluegrass in the Schools Certificate of Participation for
the training session.
The Bluegrass in the Schools session will be part of a comprehensive workshop series designed
by MBOTMA, intended specifically for bands that want to develop their performance and business skills. Entire bands or
individual musicians representing local or touring bands are welcome and encouraged to attend any of these workshops.
There will be no additional fee for the workshops other than the purchase of a festival ticket for the day they take
place.
Nancy Cardwell from IBMA will be joined by Phil Nusbaum, Ph.D. and Bob Bovee
& Gail Heil (a old-time band with several years experience in presenting programs at schools), at the Bluegrass in the Schools
Training for Artists. Course content will include information on current IBMA tools available and a “tip sheet" of
advice compiled from more than a dozen experienced bands with ideas on how to develop and present educational bluegrass
programs for students. Also included in the program will be a live demonstration of a presentation for students,
info on relating to students at different ages, suggestions on how to book Bluegrass in the Schools programs in local schools, ideas
about how to fund school presentations and a Q&A session.
You may register for the training on site, Nov. 4. For more
info on course content contact IBMA at 888-438-4262 or nancyc@ibma.org. For more info on the Harvest Jamboree, go to http://www.minnesotabluegrass.org/ | | |

WCE Song Makes DJ List
The November issue of Bluegrass Now Magazine has hit the stands and WCE has made the cut. DJ Hot Picks, a regular column in the magazine, features DJ's from around
the country and their picks of the month. Jerry Mills of Denver Colorado chose WCE's version of "Forever Ain't That
Long Anymore", from their newly released self-titled CD as 1 of 3 favorites. You can hear Jerry Mills' Rocky Mountain
Bluegrass on KCKK 1600AM. Thanks, Jerry for spinning our record! |
Lester Flatt Bluegrass
Day Draws Thousands!
Sparta, Tennessee, the hometown of Lester Flatt, honored their own this
year during the annual celebration with a special day of bluegrass. The event, hosted by Williams & Clark Expedition,
featured local band 2nd Time Around and national acts The Ryan Holladay Band and NewFound Road. After a performance
by WCE, Marty Stuart took to the stage. The event committee chose this, the 200th anniversary of White County,
to turn the event into more of a street like concert by placing the stage in front of the historic Oldham Theater. The
town holds a good bit of bluegrass history, being not only the hometown of Lester Flatt, but also that of Benny Martin.
And, Oldham Theater was where Lester Flatt saw the premier of the classic movie "Bonnie And Clyde", which featured the Flatt
& Scruggs monster hit "Foggy Mountain Breakdown". The event brought in thousands of attendees who filled the streets
around the town's square. Be sure to take a look at our photo gallery to see more photos from this great day of music. And don't forget to join us next year on September 29th. |

& The Rage, The Claire Lynch Band and newcomers Cadillac Sky for this great show. Congratulations to festival promoter,
Alan Tompkins, for bringing a first-class festival to Texas!

A House For My Kids
WCE band member Wayne Southards has befriended a wonderful Christian
family who desperately needs our help. Pictured left is the Greg McDougal family. 3 of the 4 children in
this family have been diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis. Because of the effect this terrible disease has on them, it is
imperative that this family move to a home that is not as prone to mold, dust and other allergens. Greg, who is a carpenter
by trade is also a wonderfully talented musician as well. He has released a CD that he is selling in an effort to raise
the funds it will take to build the special type of house his family needs.
Williams & Clark Expedition would
like to ask that you visit the McDougal web site at http://www.ahouseformykids.com/ and consider purchasing this CD. Not only will you be helping this family,
but the McDougals are donating a portion of the proceeds to the Nashville, TN chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis for research,
also. Wayne stated, "The McDougal's are dear friends of mine and Greg is a very talented singer and song writer. I know first
hand the struggles they have faced and and I encourage everyone to check out his new project. you won't be disappointed.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
