The Bluegrass Painter

Petunia's Prediction

I myself don't listen to much country radio.  It's pretty much all bluegrass for me, but Petunia likes to listen to all kinds of music.  She was excited to find this article on Cybergrass about Cherryholmes remixing My Only Son, from Cherryholmes III,  to be released as their first country single.  Petunia predicts that this is sure to be a big hit for Cherryholmes.  What a story this family has and they just keep getting better and better. Here's a preview with video posted on Cybergrass showing Cia Cherryholmes working on the song. 

The Wall St. Journal Article

The Wall St. Journal article that I posted about last week, where Petunia and I are mentioned, is now available on line at http://online.wsj.com/article/SB120526706660828097.html. 

The Bluegrass Painter in The Wall Street Journal

It was an exciting day for the Bluegrass Painter today, as Petunia and I were featured in an article in The Wall Street Journal about how small businesses can use the blogosphere to market.  Petunia is working on getting full access to the article, but for now you have to pick up today's paper or be a subscriber to get full access to the piece. 

Petunia was interviewed about a month ago by Shelly Banjo for the article.  She was interested to hear our story, and how we attribute our work with the IBMA and other projects to posts from some of our favorite blogs, including The Bluegrass Blog, Mandolin Cafe and Cybergrass. Why do you think I'm the only person in the article whose age was given?  They must think I'm pretty hip for an old guy.
