A personal invitation from Educational Director Randy Lanham: "I have the great privilege of putting bluegrass instruments into the hands of students. Thanks to the IBMM many people in the surrounding area get hands on interaction with bluegrass instruments. Thanks for supporting this wonderful education program, I hope you continue to do so. What a great year for teaching bluegrass music!"
