Great news for us. Gary has been accepted at East Tennessee University in Johnson City, TN where he will be studying bluegrass music. He also was awarded a grant that will help with out of state tuition. He will be focusing on the resophonic guitar as his main instrument in his study. Just recently he also won a second Harlow Resophonic guitar in a drawing. What a lucky young man.

"The family band has long played a prominent role in the origins and
development of bluegrass music, and that tradition continues to this
day. We see family bands perform in every state at every festival. One
of the finest and most entertaining family bands can be found right here
in Minnesota--Sloughgrass. Their variety, musicianship and infectious
enthusiasm always leaves the audience smiling and wanting more, and
that, after all, is what's it's all about. Go and see them if you get a
chance!" --- Art Blackburn, Monroe Crossing
