RE: SL shows
We have found a new front man till Andy Recovers. His name it Clayton Rushton. You can find him on face book. Great singer and can play several instruments. He also Friends with MAtt and when Matt can make a show Clayton can switch to Mandolin and we will have a 5pc band on some SL shows. SL shows will resume Sunday April 8th.
IT never occurred to me that the 50Biscuits show has gained enough popularity ,Via the Live internet SL shows, that other pickers are now wanting to be on the show. I will take advantage of this and keep a pool of musicians on call. In May 2012 Jeff Guernsey "World Class Fiddler" will do guest spots on the 50 biscuits show. This will be an interesting summer.

About Glenn Miller, Owner of 50Biscuits. tm
Glenn was born in 1962 in Louisville, Kentucky. Glenn was destined for music, as his parents named him after the most popular band leader of the 30's and 40's
Glenn's mother, a piano teacher and church organist, filled the house with music from the lessons with her many students. Music was always being taught in the house throughout his childhood.
At the age of 11 Glenn received a banjo from his aunt Mary, and he got it into playable shape. Acquiring several Earl Scruggs records from his neighbor Mr. Boyd and the music knowledge from his home, Glenn started playing bluegrass banjo.
Mr. Boyd’s son Brent soon got a guitar and they played every night for many years. It was not long before they were playing places like The Pine Ridge Jamboree, Lincoln County Jamboree and Sheppardsville Music Park. Once Glenn was old enough to drive He and Brent played two summers for Squire Boon Caverns playing several shows a day every weekend.
After graduating high school Glenn became a member of the USAF. After returning to Louisville to work at the Kentucky Air National Guard he helped found "The Kentucky Ramblers" .A three year tour with the Kentucky Ramblers exposed Glenn to the greats of bluegrass. Glen met and played with Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanly, Larry Sparks, Jimmy Martin, The Osborn Brothers, Jim and Jessie , and many more. This expanded Glenn’s knowledge of bluegrass music and he draws from those roots up till today.
Glenn plays and records with 50 Biscuits Bluegrass Band and teaches banjo in Louisville, KY for 12 years and online at Pickers Academy for 5 years.
