Matthew’s Music Notes
Check out the attachment from former President George Herbert Walker Bush. I have always admired the Former President Bush. He is the first President for whom I cast my vote when I turned 18. Both Former President
Bush and Former First Lady Barbara Bush are fans of bluegrass and Country Music. During his presidency, the Bush’s made several visits to the Grand Ole Opry and President Bush made the statement that when he needed some boost and morale dealing with the Middle East conflicts, all he needed to do was turn on and crank up some good ole country music! I mailed President Bush my bluegrass CD, and I received a personal response from him with several gifts and his words of appreciation and thanks. It was a real honor to receive a personal response from the former President of the United States.
 Thank you for your support and encouragement. Performing and playing music is just as much fun as it is for me to watch you enjoy yourself while I am performing. Please check my site out often to keep up with the news. There are many times I am performing and I never make the time to keep up appearance schedule listed on my site. I will try to do a better job. I am thinking of having a contest, and giving you a chance to submit a name for my new bluegrass/mountain CD. I will release details later about it. The person who selects the best name for the CD will receive several new and autographed copies of the CD. The name has to do something about bluegrass/old-time mountain music. So, hurry and submit your ideas. I will let you know mid summer the title selected and who the winners are.
Nothing like pickin’ in the mountains on a sunny Spring day!
Have a wonderful day and like the words of Saint Patrick and the Irish Blessing, “May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face. May the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may you keep safe in the loving arms of God.”
