The Bluegrass Shop Is Now Closed Due to The Economy

2010: It's been a few years since The Bluegrass Shop closed down due to the economy. We are happy to say that the economy took the shop but it didn't take the music. The music is still living on through jams, bands being formed, and friends.

Rick was going through some old paperwork and found old pics on the old website. We posted the links below. Enjoy the memories.

Best Wishes,

Richard "Rick" Kennedy Fred Smith
