We played a lot of bluegrass tonight, first because the Marshall Bluegrass Festival was last weekend, and second because we gave away six pairs of tickets to see Alison Krauss and Union Station and Meadowbrook in Rochester on Thursday.  We also interviewed Jim White, a singer/songwriter (who used to be a pro surfer!) who has a brand new release, “Wrong-Eyed Jesus” on Warner Bros.  He’ll be playing with Chris Mills at Mac’s in Lansing, also on Thursday.  Decisions, decisions….
