Sometimes this damned keyboard is like trying to hit a moving target. <BR/><BR/>Bernie gives us the closing sermon with The Abbyssinian Baptist Church Choir singing " You Can't Make Me Doubt Him " and I believe, yes . . .

In 1999 it was published in book form under the title TRUE ADVENTURES WITH THE KING OF BLUEGRASS by TOM PIAZZA with a foreword by MARTY STUART. The publisher was The Vanderbilt University Press in conjunction with the Country Music Foundation Press. ISBN 0-8265-1360-3<BR/>I agree with you. It's a wonderful read. So are your blogs.
