Brazil meets Bluegrass
For 9 months during 2007, MRBA members, Peter and Lori Silcher were host to, Fernando, from Brazil. Fernando is a horse trainer and worked with the Silchers and their Marchador horses, a special breed from Brazil. When he arrived, he mentioned to Lori that he loved the old country and bluegrass music. During his stay in Montana, Fernando, became a part of our Bluegrass family and was a fine picker. Here are some videos he took at the MRBA Spring Festival 2007.

All of the bands sounded great this year. We just keep getting better year after year.
We all headed over to the American Legion and jammed together into the wee hours of Sunday morning. Lots of folks stayed over and camped there. The jamming was great.
Here’s a little snipet of Rebecca in the kitchen that night (for some reason my camera doesn’t seem to pick up the bass, sorry)
