I won!!! I just got back from the Founders Title Folk & Bluegrass Festival in Snowbird, Utah, participating in the Susanne Millsaps songwriter showcase. What a great experience! I enjoyed sharing the stage with talented finalists from all over the country. It was a thrill to win the contest (maybe 3.2 beer isn’t so bad after all!) and I am looking forward to kicking off the festival next year with McCumberland Gap. It was great seeing Tim Stafford of Blue Highway and finally meeting Mollie O’Brien. The whole experience was rewarding on many levels and I am, as always, grateful for this musical journey. When I returned home after the festival, I was greeted by our two dogs, Guinness and Nugget, each wearing t-shirts that said “My dad rocks!!”. Is that awesome or what!?
