I shared a little bit about Rough Cut a few days ago. I thought I ought to share the same about my other band, the Bluegrass band I’ve been in for six years now. Kenneth Newell and I started The Caney Creek Gang in 2019. It was getting harder and harder to find bands to […]

(my son Tanner’s work) How about that?! The official Notes of Blue logo! By Tanner Autry! It’s a good thing all my kids are good with technology. I’d be severely lacking if they weren’t. I love ’em and appreciate all their assistance. So this logo will appear on everything: this website, the YouTube page, and […]
Most folks don’t even know that I’m in another band. It’s not that I have hidden it (why would I?); it’s just that we’ve only played one gig. That was last September, and we’re so busy we haven’t played or practiced since. But yeah, we’re called Rough Cut, and we play a mixture of Country, […]

For a while the blog might look weird or off because the website is being built out. Stay tuned as the website is soon going to look like it should. Thank you for your patrience.
Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day! Wouldn’t you know it! All this bad weather forced us to postpone tonight’s opening of The Rosine Barn Jamboree’s 33rd season. That means we’ll have to reschedule the Bill Burden Tribute, probably until some time in June. When we have a new date, I’ll share it here […]
I didn’t set out to write the song knowing I would give it the “Queen of Hearts” title. My song’s title wasn’t in my head when I wrote the first line, “She was sitting underneath a tree beside Olaton Road.” I had an image in my mind of an innocent young maiden in trouble and […]
May 24, 2025! The Old Get Together. A brand-new, first-ever Bluegrass festival at Potter Farm in Bowling Green, Ky. Seven bands and much to see and do! Like jam! There will be a jam circle, guitar circle, pickers circle, whatever you want to call it. Kenneth Newell and I will be leading it. We’ll be […]
