2010 is almost history. It’s a good thing too, at least in my opinion. Not that I could say that the year was a complete wash because there were some bright spots in it for sure. The high note for me was the November elections when the voting public decided that some sanity was needed [...] [...]

Leave a comment By baregrass, on December 12th, 2010 Finally there may be an end to the longstanding struggles of Native Americans to gain a little bit of justice for what they have suffered at the hands of the government. I am referring decades old Cobell lawsuit against the Department of the Interior. Congress passed the enabling legislation and President Obama signed it just [...] [...] December 12th, 2010 | Tags: Cobell vs Salazar, Cobell vs. Kempthorne, Indian Trust Funds, Native Americans | Category: baregrass |
Leave a comment By baregrass, on November 9th, 2010 I have just added a page on New Mexico musicians. It is not yet finished but is a start. It is a subset of the main Culture page. Check it out! [...] By baregrass, on November 3rd, 2010 Interesting elections for sure. The Republicans have garnered a second chance and I hope they are smart about how they use it because if not, this might be their last chance. There is little they can do to undo the damage of the last two years because they only control the House but they need [...] [...] November 3rd, 2010 | Tags: 2010 elections, the election, voter choices | Category: baregrass |
Leave a comment By baregrass, on September 18th, 2010 It sure looks like I had abandoned this blog this summer but not quite. I just had a lot of other things to do and I have to say that I wasn’t much in the mood to do any blogging anyway. This has to be one of the hottest summers I have experienced here. We [...] [...] By baregrass, on June 19th, 2010 US Congressional Representative Joe Barton from Texas had the temerity during hearings to express contempt for the $20 billion deal done at the White House between Obama and BP. He called it a shakedown and then the political you know what hit the fan. Not only did he get it from the left but from [...] [...] June 19th, 2010 | Tags: BP, Democrats, gulf oil spill, Joe Barton, Republicans | Category: baregrass |
2 comments By baregrass, on June 5th, 2010 There is an ongoing conversation in the media now about whether the so-called “old media”, meaning left wing organizations such as TV nightly news, newspapers and news magazines will be able to survive in this new media age of the internet and 24 hour cable news. Some are saying that the “news” is dead but [...] [...] June 5th, 2010 | Tags: mass media, MSM, news, politics, society, the American Left | Category: baregrass |
Leave a comment By baregrass, on May 20th, 2010 Image: Michelle Meiklejohn / FreeDigitalPhotos.net Our bluegrass music fest we undertook last week was a great success. Many thanks go out to the local KOA Campground for hosting the Fest! That sure made it nice for the attendees that had trailers and RV’s. There were over 400 people attending which was amazing because the weather was [...] [...] By baregrass, on May 20th, 2010 Nice rain the last few days and it is so welcome. And the best part is that we didn’t have to endure the nasty stuff they had across the state line in Texas. I could see the back end of that massive storm that hit Dalhart and Stratford, Texas. It had a very pronounced and [...] [...] By baregrass, on May 6th, 2010 Well, here I am 2 months later and finally writing something here. Tonite is the first night of the Bluegrass Fest in Tucumcari and I am getting ready to get up on stage in a few hours with my bandmates and open the show. Little nervous but not too bad. We will be opening for [...] [...] May 6th, 2010 | Tags: bluegrass music, Eastern New Mexico, Quay County, Tucumcari | Category: baregrass |
