One quick Facebook Live video from the Gamble Rogers Gala a few weeks ago:īe sure and come out for an all too rare appearance of Medicine Springs in St. Here is a photo from one of my recent mato music house concerts with the amazing Luke Bulla. I'll also have some gigs with Medicine Springs and who knows what else. Hope to see you at at least one of these! I'll be teaching this year at four (so far) different music camps: Suwannee Banjo Camp in Florida this March, Bluegrass and Gee's Camp in Alabama this April, Midwest Banjo Camp in Indiana this June, and Camp Bluegrass in Texas this July.

I'm headed up for Banjothon tomorrow to start a busy banjo year for me. Come out and enjoy some music from a bunch of his friends on March 4. He was a fantastic player and always a lot of fun to be around. I played a lot of music and spent a lot of time with Tuck over the last 30 years or so, and that was after watching him on stage for 10 years and marveling at his mastery of that slidy guitar thing. Join us on Saturday, March 4, from 1-8pm at Rum 138 near Fort White, FL, to honor the life of James “Tuck” Tucker, dobro master and my dear friend, who passed away on December 24, 2021. I hope to see you somewhere along the way! Next month I'll be at Midwest Banjo Camp and in July out in Texas at Camp Bluegrass.

I'm teaching a lot this year and have already taught at Suwannee Banjo Camp and Bluegrass and Gee's Bend Camp. What a miracle it all is.I had a great time playing with Medicine Springs at Suwannee Spring Reunion. I did not stop crying at how beautiful it was.

JB, our nurse, the doctor, my mama – everyone was such an encouragement to me as well. at 1:10am our Wesley was born! Just an hour after his due date – what a punctual guy! I looked over and there was JB with a couple big crococodile tear rolling down his cheeks. Within 5 pushes and fifteen minutes my precious Wesley came screaming into this world and was placed directly in my arms. Around 1am she checked me and Wesley’s head was right there! My doctor came in and it was time to push. Total opposite of last time! I told my nurse I wanted to labor down for as long as I could. I could feel pressure from contractions and move my legs but I couldn’t feel pain. It all felt surreal! My mama arrived around 7:30, we breathed through contractions together until 10 when I got the epidural. I discovered that my doctor I had been praying I would get was the one on call. A sweet girl I grew up with checked us in and as her shift was ending, she got to pick out who would be our nurse. The volunteer meant well! We all had a good laugh. When they saw me obviously in no distress and no baby coming out immediately they were all confused. I had no idea what was going on and was just smiling, talking to her about her births in a blizzard in detroit, when about 10 nurses, one of which had a stretcher, from labor and delivery start running in my direction. Which apparently means I’m having the baby right there in the lobby.

She got real wide eyed and told me to sit down in the wheel chair! She called labor and delivery and told them it was a code violet.

There was a volunteer at the front directing everyone and I let her know my water had broken and I needed to go to labor and delivery. JB dropped me off at the front and went to park the car. He still made it to swim class! I started to pack a few last minute items and off we went! The hospital is ten minutes from our house and I had no steady contractions yet so the ride over was easy. His parents live about ten minutes away thankfully and scooped up Tuck. Tuck was laying next to me asleep in bed when all of a sudden at 5:30 my water broke! I hollered at JB to get off the phone from the other room and to come here! I told him my water broke, I started to cry, which woke tuck up, JB started to dance around singing “we gonna have a baby”, and he called his parents. JB takes him every night at 6 – so he had come home early like usual. Tuck is doing ISR – which is an intense swimming class. I picked up Tuck so he could nap at home. I really wanted to go into labor naturally, I wasn’t feeling super uncomfortable yet, so I was in no hurry. At my OB’s they checked me, and I was a bit more dilated and more effaced, but I told him I’ll ride it out until 41 weeks and he was fine with that. I picked up my number one pregnancy craving (a blueberry kale salad) on the way to the doctor’s at my favorite bistro for an after lunch treat. That day we had spent the morning with my mom, and then I headed to my doctors appointment while she watched Tuck.
