The Grillbillies recently published the official webpage http://www.grillbillies.com. There's a variety information on the site about the Grillbillies, about the festivals, about the bands, and about Bluegrass...Great job, Mark!!! My page is a link to that site and my own personal thoughts about the Grillbillies, along with some of my favorite sites, musicians, and some Grillbillie pictures.

The Grillbillies are a group of friends that you may see at some of the Bluegrass Festivals in the PA, NJ, MD or NY area. It's all about good friends, good music, good food, great times, and throw in some great pickin'!!! Now, put all of that together (hopefully along with some good weather) and you have a Grillbillie gathering! I wrote a saying that expresses my feelings about the Grillbillies, it goes like this:

Grillbillie Friends
Food for the Soul
and
Music from the Heart

The Grillbillie Album Band just released their first CD, actually 1st and 2nd. Since I don't have any real musical talents...only my sincere appreciation...I am really excited that they are using my saying on the CD's. There is so much musical talent on these recording, and it was so much fun to be a part of it!!

I've only been a part of this group since Labor Day of 1997. It's funny how quickly I felt at home with the Grillbillie Family. Even though I don't feel like a newcomer, I am, compared to some of the group. I will be forever grateful to my friend who introduced me to the Grillbillies, and to the Grillbillies for making me feel so welcome. Their friendship fills a place in my heart, that I never knew was missing, like finding pieces of a puzzle. Whether it be a festival, or a get together at someone's house, going out to see one of the bands, or maybe one of the Grillbillie Girls night's out...it's always a good time when you're with the Grillbillies!!!
