The March Membership Drive continues this weekend with a wide variety of music to keep us happy...Lawrence Welk, James Taylor & Carole King, Daniel O'Donell, Harry Connick Jr., the 25th anniversary production of Les Miserables to name a few...but for me the highlight happens Sunday afternoon...for the first time, the legends of bluegrass are brought together with the stars of traditional country music and a new generation of bluegrass performers — all on the same night. ALL-STAR BLUEGRASS CELEBRATION is staged at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville — the original home of the Grand Ole Opry, and the national birthplace of bluegrass music...
Host Ricky Skaggs welcomes a Who’s Who of bluegrass music today: country icon Vince Gill; superstars the Dixie Chicks; legends Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley and the Del McCoury Band; and the new generation represented by Alison Krauss, Patty Loveless, Travis Tritt and Nickel Creek. The program also highlights the first bluegrass song to win the prestigious Country Music Association song of the year, “Man of Constant Sorrow,” from the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack...don't even try to sit still - can't be done...Sunday at 2pm
