JoAnn Parrott, Woody Muckler, & Kruger Brothers Bassist Joel Landsberg (aka "Freddy" Kruger) at the Kruger Brothers Station Inn performance, Nashville Tennessee, July 2000.
Muckler Design Studio Booth-Opryfest, Nashville Tennessee, July 2000. Great line-up for this first-ever festival. Del McCoury Band, Seldom Scene, Lonesome River Band, Tim O'Brien & Darrell Scott, Laurie Lewis & Her Bluegrass Pals, Ralph Stanley, and lots more! I hope that it becomes an annual event!
Muckler Design Studio Booth-Merlefest 2K! What a great weekend....great music, great friends, and great weather! It just doesn't get any better than this. Pictured is mother-in-law Annette Moore (proof that not all mother-in-laws are bad), myself, and my wife Nancy. When I die, I wanna go to Merlefest! Hope to see you there next year!
Cheers! The same motley crew as in the above photo. Hmmmm, do I sense a pattern here? This photo was taken in a local pub in Passage East, Ireland, July,2000. We got to hear some great Irish music, as well as discover the pleasures of Guinness. The traditional entertainer that night noticed my shirt, and invited me
to a Bluegrass festival where he was to perform two weeks later in East Dunsmore. Sadly, I was back in Tennessee by that time. I bet it was a blast!
Close-up a hand painted Sam Bush t-shirt that I did several years ago.
Photo from several years ago of my late friend Robert Williams and I wearing our hand-painted Peter Rowan and Sam Bush shirts. If it looks like we had just been out drinking beer and listening to Bluegrass music....it's because we had! Miss you, Roberto!
T-shirt made for Uwe Kruger of the Swiss band, The Kruger Brothers. If you ever get a chance to see these guys, they are incredible! The shirt is a mixure of bleaching, painting with dye, and textile paints.
The three T-shirts above where done with a combination of bleaching, dye painting, textile painting, and screen printing.
Hand painted John Cowan T-shirt that I did as a gift for my sister-in-law Katy. What is it about Johny C that drives the women wild? My wife is crazy about him, too. Must be that voice!
Mandolin T-shirt that I did earlier this year. Combination of tie-dye, dye painting, and textile painting. Can you tell that I am a mandolin freak?!
Hand painted and dyed fiddle t-shirt. Done for the friend of a friend of a friend, or something like that. I thought this one turned out really well. The photo does not do it justice, unfortunately it is the only photo I have of it, and the shirt is somewhere in Georgia.....I think!
Photo of my wife and I at the Little A'le'inn, Rachel, Nevada. A little side trip for us to get away from the bright lights of Las Vegas. They actually have a bluegrass festival there every year. The lady working there gave me a festival poster which shows an Alien playing a banjo!
