Playing banjo with his band the New South on the stage at the Charlotte (MI) Bluegrass Festival, 6/23/2007.

A banjo, a guitar, and a song at the Charlotte (Michigan) Bluegrass Festival in June of 2006. Parking Lot Picking is a common feature of festivals, and one of the joys of those weekeneds.

Kevin plays with the Michigan bluegrass band Detour . Detour's had a spectacular year . Twenty years ago Kevin was in a band that occasionally showed up at a local bar. We had a short chat about that before Detour went on stage. Photo taken Thursday at the Milan Bluegrass Festival.

Steve Dilling, again (well, his banjo anyway), at the 2007 Charlotte (MI) Bluegrass Festival. And Russell Moore's guitar. Here's hoping Steve's retirement helps his health concerns.

Steve Dilling is one of my absolute favorite musicians. Steve--the banjo picker and front man (MC) for IIIrd Tyme Out--is retiring at the end of the month . Gonna miss you, Steve.
