The Podunk Bluegrass Music Festival had just finished the night before this show, so we played all of the bands who had performed on the main stage over the three festival days. This included new music from Blue Highway, Shawn Lane, Wayne Taylor (Appaloosa), Dave Adkins & Edgar Loudermilk, and The Bankesters.
Other recent music included songs from Jim Gaudet and the Railroad Boys, The Steeldrivers, Three Tall Pines, Claire Lynch (all Podunk performers), Missy Werner, Michael Cleveland, Turning Ground, Marteka and William Lake, Nu-Blu, Doyle Lawson, Laurie Lewis & Kathy Kallick, Becky Buller, James King, Balsam Range, Seldom Scene, Roland White, and Larry Efaw.
Jimmy Martin born Aug 10, 1927 |
Jimmy Martin's 87th birthday was the day of this show, so we played Jimmy throughout the show. Jimmy died of cancer May 14, 2005.
The Heritage Corner provided some interesting rarities included songs off vinyl from The Keen Brothers, The Sandy Valley Boys, and additional music from Buzz Busby, The Dillards, Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, and Carl Story.

Hey Jim,
As one of the co-writers on Nu-Blu's "Trains I Didn't Take", I just wanted to say a big thanks for singling out the song and playing it. It's one that is very special to me (true story, too!).
Thanks again,
Jerry Vandiver
