Check out American Pastimes this week. Inspired by this past weekend's performances by the Crooked Jades and
the Freight Hoppers at the Father's Day Bluegrass Festival in Grass
Valley, there'll be some fast-paced, string-pickin' sets that are really hot. Because its so damned hot they'll be some songs inspired by hot places. And there's also a couple of songs that Grant really liked.
