   Hi all,   
      
   There's one story/joke that I didn't find in this extensive listing (maybe   
   because it really happened).   
      
   In May 1993 I was at the annual "Big Bear Festival", a bluegrass festival in   
   Zuidlaren in the Netherlands, where Charlie Louvin was the closing act   
   together with Charles Whitstein (mandolin) and Susie Reed (bass).   
      
   At the start of the festival, when the prforming act was not that   
   interesting to me, I sat down in a quiet side room with Charlie Louvin and   
   Adrian Farmer, a british multi-instrumentalist who was a member of the Dutch   
   "Stroatklinkers", but at that time already living in Great Britain again.   
      
   Adrian was telling how he had participated in a festival in his homecountry   
   a few weeks earlier and had be leading a banjo-workshop in a big tent at the   
   festivalgrounds. It had been a great expierience for him and there had been   
   over 40 banjoplayers at a given time.   
      
   Right at that moment Charlie interrupted, saying: "Man, what a great place   
   to drop a bomb on!"   
      
   Through the years we have seen a lot of great bluegrass/acts on stage at   
   this festival, that has now become the official closing event of the   
   ´European World of Bluegrass´, but I will never forget that afternoon when I   
   for a change wasn´t listening to the music.   
      
   Kind regards,
