  • @DirigoDuke

    My other thought upon watching this vlog was that, having heard so often The Legend of Mama's Horn, it was nice to see her making like Gabriel there at the end. It's just a darn crying shame there's this rule: There Shalt Be No Trumpet in Bluegrass. I mean, surely someone, somewhere has arranged a bluegrass version of, “When the Saint's Go Marching In.” Surely that, at least, would have a trumpet solo in it somewhere. Anyway, as the family's newest, biggest fan, I challenge Karen and Katie to put their heads together and write a bluegrass song for the trumpet. I mean, c'mon, how is, “Git it, Mama!” not the most perfect song title ever?

    I sure wish I had known you were playing in Iowa! You even drove through Des Moines! Next time, reach out to Hope Lutheran Church in West Des Moines or Grace Church in Des Moines. I bet they could fill their massive sanctuaries if folks knew you were in town! Or, contact Grandview Christian School in Des Moines. You guys would be such a wonderful inspiration to the kids!
