Routes and Branches Play List 12/24/11

Well it being Christmas Eve it is time again for our annual Ameriacana Christmas show.

But first, I had to pay tribute to Warren Helman who passed away this past week. For the past two years my wife and I have attended and thoroughly enjoyed The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival which Hellman completely financed each year. This past year we saw Hellman perform with his band The Wronglers. We had no idea that it would be the last time we would hear Hellman play the banjo. The festival will carry on but we will all miss Warren and all he did for the artists and the fans alike.
