Hi FT,

For Bridal Veil- depending on the shape you're in:  Best way IMO is via mountain bike.  My wife and I made it to the top of the falls a few years ago- walking the bikes occasionally to catch our breath, it was great.  If you make the top, take the dirt hiking trail a little ways up so you can look down on the house at the top of the falls that the creek runs under. Yes, the creek runs under the house right before it falls.

A hike is good too, especially if you can hitch up the road to where the switchbacks begin, but on a bike- once you've gone up, gravity is your friend...there's a lower parking lot at the old mine- slag heaps where you can park and walk from there too.

For a vehicle, 4WD is nice, but you just need a little clearance on the lower part near where the switchbacks meet the parking area. Taking a vehicle up limits you to a degree because there's a point at which the road becomes one-way the other way because it's the route down Black Bear Pass.

We need to get good snow this spring in the San Juans so the falls flow well.

Henhouse Prowlers are from Chicago and they can tear the roof off the house. I was curious to listen to them at first, I think Bluegrass can and is very regional. Love the way they deliver! Medal

Love those guys!  I first saw them when they won the band competition on the first Mountain Song at Sea, and again when they played on the cruise the following year.  They're really fun, and also great guys and jamming buddies.  I think several of them have gone to Telluride as spectators and staff, too.  Dan the fiddler jammed with us around our "campfire" at Steamboat Too a couple of years ago. 

I would love to see them at Telluride, but it looks like they're playing in Europe that weekend.

Maybe next year. I think they would be an outstanding fit. They all pick really well and the first thing I did notice is how dang good the fiddle player is.

The new Steve Gunn release Seasonal Hire is really interesting. Primal porch music? Not really sure how to describe it, but it's dark and ethereal and country/bluegrassy. Kind of reminds me of field recordings I've heard, maybe on the American Primal sets?

Really cool stuff. Would love to see him and the Black Twig Pickers grace a stage; they're on a festival circuit this spring/summer it looks like. Check em out!

The Zombie First Aid Kit! Music. Love that and I smiled through the entire video. May I suggest a larger dance floor at this time. I love their tunes and have to dance when I hear them! Excited Cheers

Thanks for the tip! If you're into Billy Payne, check out The Hooligans from Bozeman, MT. They've been around for 20 years or so and when Bill moved to Montana, he sort of joined them. If he's not on tour and they have a show, he's always there playing and he's on their album. It's a really great listen.

What a great show, check it out if you can. We had lots of fun staying up to watch the webcast. "All Four" with Phil was something special and the "Don't Lie>Eyes>Don't Lie" wasn't bad either  Wink

So cool to see the GSBG boys up on stage with Phil, big smiles all around, well done boys  Thumbs Up
