The primary purpose of BABA is to preserve, encourage, and promote Bluegrass and Bluegrass Gospel music as an American art form. BABA promotes Bluegrass through being active in community events, fund raisers, festivals, and monthly shows. The monthly show is free to the public and features Bluegrass from the local and national scene. The stage show begins at 6:30 p.m., but pickers are welcome to bring their instruments and come earlier. BABA’s kitchen provides tasty, inexpensive food and beverages (NO ALCOHOL). Prizes and donations are raffled off every show. Proceeds from the kitchen, raffles/donations, and memberships from individuals and businesses are used to present the monthly shows; publish the newsletter; pay for sound equipment; promote Bluegrass and for minor incidental expenses. Please help support Bluegrass. Join BABA today. Your membership will help us to meet our goals and objectives. See membership levels below. BABA is a 501(a) tax deductible organization. See any Director for information. Well Hello there bluegrass buddies, The year is winding down and the hot summer is giving way to the hot fall. We here at BABA aren’t ready to call it a year yet, so for the next few months we have some real treats for you. Let’s start with Jim Hurst this month. If you had your choice of a guitar picker to do a workshop and show, I can’t think of a better one. Jim has played with everyone who is anyone and made them better. His skills are unsur- passed and we are happy to bring him to BABA. Next month we keep it going with Daniel Carwile. The multi-award winning fiddle player will be doing a fiddle workshop and show for us. Then, just for us on the last show of the year, we have a triple feature night with three of your favorite bands, White Dove, LoneStar and The Bluegrass Solution. And we’re already working on next year, with Saltgrass starting off the year in true BABA fashion. Remember, BABA works because of and for you. It’s your donations and membership that keep us going. Things cost more every day and we are doing all we can to keep the shows and jams free. Bring some friends and introduce them to the BABA bluegrass family. Become a BABA member. Volunteer to help out. We’re still looking for kitchen help and a sound tech to help out with the sound. That’s a really really tuff job. Roger and Mark have done a great job for the last few months but they need a rest every once in a while. If you’re a sound man or know one - we need you! Keep on picking, Rick Kirkland President The BABA Bulletin is published monthly by the Bay Area Bluegrass Association, and is available for $35 a year with a Family Membership or $100 a year Gold Club Membership, or $350 Lifetime Membership, or $1,000 Endowment Gift (Lifetime Membership).
