Dateline: July 2, 2008 The most AMAZING thing has happened. We sent our CD "OLD SKOoL" to Mike Kear's MUSIC FROM FOGGY HOLLOW on Hawkesbury Radio 89.9FM in Sydney, Australia. To our surprise and delight, he tucked it right into the playlist. WE'VE MADE IT ONTO THE RADIO!!! In addition, the program is rebroadcast world wide several times a week on Bluegrass Country.org. COMMENTS FROM MIKE KEAR: G'day Randy, Jerry and Cathy, What a thrill for me to get your email, and I am privileged to have been the first one to play your CD. I really like it. You don't have the slick homogenised, glossy all-the-same-as-the-others sound of the big budget CDs - it's good honest-to-goodness bluegrass the way the original fathers of bluegrass intended. Well done. Thanks for giving me such an honour to trust me with your project. It'll stay on my playlist for a few weeks to come yet. Keep on listening and keep on making the great music! Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Webmaster, Bluegrass Australia http://bluegrass.org.au Pacific Bluegrass Network We have over 6800 viewings of our Badger in the Outhouse video on YouTube. Randy still figures most are from him and Jerry checking to see how many people have viewed the video. It’s pretty silly, but it’s ours and we’re proud of it. Here's some very nice comments following a recent wedding reception we played for: Hi Randy, This is Brooke Riley;) Tell and I just got back from our honeymoon and I wanted to send off this note to tell High Desert Band how much we loved you! Everyone I have spoken to about the wedding has made the comment, "The band was GREAT!" It was so nice to show up to the reception and hear your bluegrass tunes already playing. I'm so glad I found you guys and I don't think I could have found a better band. You made our day truly special, and you can quote me on that. Thank you so much for everything. -Brooke Later, all Cathy, Jerry, Randy and Kayleigh
