Blue GrassRoots Festival Moves to Norcross Jim Hurst to Perform at

January, 2015 Volume 31 Number 1
Blue GrassRoots Festival Moves
to Norcross
You may have heard the rumors, but now it's official – the
2015 Blue Grassroots Festival will move to downtown
Norcross, GA. As in past festivals, this year's event is
scheduled for the last weekend of March (Saturday, March
28 and Sunday, March 29).
Festival cofounders Jack Sartain and John Kelley are
excited about the new venue and growth opportunities that
Norcross provides. Festival goers can expect the same
great events regarding music (bands and jams), contests,
and traditional dance. Norcross's historic downtown
district also provides lots of space and a perfect backdrop
for event.
As in the past, SEBA will have a significant role in the
event. Other event partners such as CCD, AAFFM,
ducilmers, and oldtime musicians will also participate.
The event is designed in a “festival-within-a-festival”
format which gives each group free reign to produce
their piece of the event. Jack, John, Rebecca Lawson and
other volunteers are working feverishly to work out
additional details for the event. Please save the dates and
watch the Breakdown and SEBA website for news as it
unfolds.
Jim Hurst to Perform at the
Crimson Moon on January 11
Jim Hurst brings his “Good Old Solid Pickin' and HeartFelt Singin'” to Dahlonega this January with a show on
Sunday, January 11. Jim's unique guitar style shows
influences from an impressive lineup of artists including
Tony Rice, Clarence White, and Jerry Reed. His past
credits include work with Claire Lynch's Front Porch
String Band, a duo act with Missy Raines, session gigs,
and solo recordings.
The show starts at 8pm and tickets are available at The
Crimson Moon website:
http://www.thecrimsonmoon.com/.

From the Editor’s Desk
Happy New Year to all. I hope the holidays treated you well
and left you in the mood for some hot bluegrass action for
2015. So far, things are looking good. Adams Bluegrass is
kicking off the new year with a major, 3-day festival in Jekyll
Island to get us started. Local venues such as the Red Light
Cafe, Crimson Moon, and Everett's are also keeping up the
tradition with a regular slate of shows and jams. In addition,
we just received formal confirmation that the Blue GrassRoots
Festival will happen once again this March – this time at a
great new venue in Norcross. If you throw in all the SEBA
jams and ongoing local events like the Greater Good Barbecue,
it's looking like we're off to a great start with plenty of options
for bluegrass pickin' and listenin' for the new year. I hope to
see y'all at one or more of these events.

by Col. Robert McMillan’s Georgia Brigade. McMillan
It is likely that Shaara based the character Kilrain partly
on the 20th Maine's Sergeant George Buck. One day
when Buck was ill and stayed behind at camp, a
quartermaster ordered him to chop wood. Buck refused

fellow immigrants.
According to the novel "Gods and Generals", Kilrain
was born in 1812 in Belfast. He was originally a sergeant
before being demoted to private for assaulting a superior
while drunk. According to "The Killer Angels" and
"Gettysburg", he died on the morning of July 3, 1863,
after being wounded twice while helping to defend Little

the South. Not necessarily interested in the idea of union,
they fought over the issue of class struggle. Over
140,000 troops in the Union army hailed from Ireland.
Originally a legendary group of heroic Irish warriors in
the second and third centuries A.D., the Fenians' ultimate
goal was the overthrow of British rule in Ireland, a
nationalist ambition shaped by a seven century-long
conflicted yet symbiotic relationship between the Irish
and English peoples which is beyond the scope of the
entire internet to describe satisfactorily.
Foreign enlistment in the American Civil War was
largely dominated by the Union's success in attracting
international volunteers, although a significant number
of immigrants served with the Confederacy. While the
largest Union foreign contingents were Irish and
German, other volunteers included Frenchmen,
Hungarians, Scandinavians, Italians, Poles, Mexicans,
and a few Asians. Communication difficulties, especially
in Union regiments, created constant problems in

INSTRUMENTS FOR SALE or TRADE
Gene Ivey fiddle for sale: I'm selling a fiddle, handmade in 1985--the 11th fiddle made by Gene
Ivey of Ider, Alabama (Sand Mountain.) Mister Ivey had fiddles shown in the Smithsonian, is in the
Alabama Music Hall of Fame, was an artist shown on an Alabama PBS documentary, Coat of
Many Colors. There are many references to him online. I bought this fiddle in 1999 from the Violin
Shop in Nashville. It is one of about 200 fiddles Mister Ivey made in his lifetime. He made other
stringed instruments too. Ivey died in March of 2014.

and instrument maker. The instrument is a collectible by virtue of its maker's standing but it's
meant to be played. If interested contact Peg Tilley tilleyp@bellsouth.net, or call 251-895-9203
