Get Well Soon, Jim Lauderdale!

We received some bad news yesterday: our good friend and faithful festival performer Jim Lauderdale has been having some problems with his vocal cords, and is under doctor's orders for strict vocal rest for the whole summer - including GrassRoots. It's a really scary thing for a musician to have to go through, so keep him in your thoughts. We are confident that he will be back, spangly cowboy suit and all, for GrassRoots '09, and until then, we wish him a speedy recovery and lots of love!
