I was asked to review this EP. I don’t do reviews on request. I am not a writer by trade, you will notice. Also, previous requests were not going to get a good review. I will tell a band what […]

Mr. Bill Knowlton celebrated his 40th year hosting the Bluegrass Ramble Picnic Sunday. Held on the lake at Little York, the picnic is an eagerly anticipated event in Central New York State. This years lineup included Larry Hoyt & the […]
