It's been a great run folks, 27 years in print without a penny of advertisement or promotion... but GRASS ROOTS is heading off into the sunset. However, I will make it available as an e-book here at , as well as my updated BLUEGRASS BREAKDOWN. Thanks to everyone who helped with this book, bought it or read it---Fred Hill, 2007.
Good resource and information book. But it either needs to be updated or retired. There is hundreds of new information that should be in this book, and new blugrass artists that have made it to the prime spot light.
