Hey all y'all! Just a reminder that I'll be giving a lecture about my book, Pretty Good For A Girl: Women in Bluegrass, on Thursday, April 3, from 4:30-5:30 on the campus of the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. The location is the Pleasants Family Assembly Room in the Wilson Library. The talk is part of the "Hutchins Lecture" series. And the title of the lecture is "Steel-String Magnolias: Women in Bluegrass. Here's a link:Â

The lecture is open to the pubic. My sisters Nancy and Laurie will be there and I hope they will be getting up to sing some songs with me during my lecture.
The three of us will also be giving a noon performance from 12:00-1:00 as part of "Music On the Porch." That location is the Center for the Study of the American South @ the Love House & Hutchins Forum.
I will have books there to sell and sign, and I will also have some of the old Red and Murphy albums which have recently been reissued on CDs!!!
If you make it to either of these, please come up and shake and howdy!
Hope to see you there!
