HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL

Did you have a heap of "Hoppin' John" for New Year's Day?  Black eyed peas and rice, poor man's food from down South. Eat poor on January 1 and you will prosper through the rest of the year - or so the old saying goes. And if you add some ham or smoked sausage it is actually pretty tasty fare. I decided to make mine with a Cajun twist. I cut up some of my andouille sausage and added a large amount of the "Cajun Trinity," onion, bell pepper and celery along with a dash of red pepper flakes.  It was pretty darn good if I do say so myself. Anyway keep on picking, singing, and fiddling. 2015 should be a good year for bluegrass music where ever you are.
