Dear MRBA Members,

I’m writing to apologize for the spam that came through from the MRBA website today. The problem with the spammer has been resolved and you should not be receiving any more of these. Hopefully everyone is keeping safe during the pandemic and keeping your wits about you with some bluegrass music.

Your trusty webmaster,
