Thanks to the IBMA and Sam Bush for allowing us to post the audio of Sam’s Keynote Address on the opening day of the 2010 World Of Bluegrass convention in Nashville.
Bush spoke on Monday, September 25 at the beginning of that evening’s festivities – following a tasty plate of vittles and just prior to showcase performances from Kati Penn, The Chapmans, Brand New Strings and several others. It’s always an honor to be chosen to deliver a Keynote, but especially so in 2010 as IBMA marks its 25th Anniversary.
The address runs just over an hour, so find a comfy spot and settle in. New IBMA Board President Stan Zdonik speaks briefly, as does Pete Wernick, before Mary Tyler Daub introduces Sam.
