A Changing Of The Guard At Bluegrass & Beyond

No, you can only wish - I'm still here!

But the big news is that co-founder and co-host Bill Giles wants to step down from the responsibility of leading each and every jam, because of increased work commitments. Talk about misplaced priorities... and I thought I knew him?

Of course, after 2 years of building the jam and getting to work with me every second week, it's hard for him just walk away - so he wants to continue on as an occasional guest host - not to mention gracing our masthead and poster as co-founder emeritus (and I thought that you had to be, like, a 100 years old for that honor).

Co-host AJ was willing to carry the load, Atlas-like, along with my meager help, but, fortunately, we have good news for all (especially AJ).

Through a combination of various Bluegrass & Beyond search committees, market research groups and advanced computer algorithms, an exhaustive nationwide scouring for qualified co-hosts turned up only one obvious choice.

And right under our noses, at that.

Please welcome our newest Bluegrass & Beyond co-host - "Banjo" Mike Mulhollan (He's currently undergoing an intensive 24-hour training session to be ready to step in and help out co-host AJ tomorrow night).

I, of course, will continue in my useless, non-capacity as color commentator, Scotty's straight man and occasional DobroCop (as Sarah sometimes chastises me with).

See you Monday, Mike et al,
