At this time when competition for your dollar bills is relentless, promotional tools are becoming all the more innovative. And bluegrass music is no different.
Two years ago the Bluegrass Calendar offered access to some audio clips, one for each month of the year.
For the 2013 Bluegrass Calendar, which has as its theme bluegrass music in Nashville, the publisher – Gary B Reid – has created a dozen videos featuring bluegrass personalities, each of whom are pictured in next year’s edition. Lorraine Jordan, Ronnie Reno, Chris Jones, Joe Mullins, Eddie and Martha Adcock, Larry Stephenson, and Greg Cahill among others, talk about their associations with the city, which is also home for several of them.
Here bluegrass balladeer James King speaks of working in the studio where the Stanley Brothers had recorded; most apt, as Reid’s deep and abiding passion is the music of the brothers.
Remember, a calendar is not just for Christmas, it’s for the whole year!
