Once more , the old LMN budget didn’t quite cover the costs of two big concerts for the weekend, but never fear, the C-J will review what’s big. Herewith, J. L. Puckett’s review of the Monsters of Folk Halloween show. Marty Rosen drew the short straw and had to go cover Miley Cyrus.
The C-J’s Southern Indiana writer Dale Moss wrote a very nice piece on Ivan Guernsey, brother of fiddler Jeff Guernsey and builder of resonator guitars.
In addition to his luthier work, Ivan plays the resonator and was in the excellent bluegrass band Storefront Congregation.
