WHERE THE HELL IS MUSIC RANCH MONTANA?

These folks may need bumper stickers similar to the "Where The Hell Is Roscoe"of a few years back. It is located about 9 miles south of Livingston on the highway into Gardiner and Yellowstone Park. They have a lot of "classic" country music scheduled, but no bluegrass for 2014.  Last August they brought in Dailey and Vincent, one of the hottest groups in bluegrass today, but zilch for this summer.  For any lovers of the old stars of country music this is their schedule: July 12 Jeremy Parsons and Naomi Bristow, July 17 Charlie Daniels Band, July 26 Baillie & the Boys and Paulette Carlson, July 31 Bill Anderson, Aug 1 Penny Gilley, Aug 2 Bobby Bare, Aug 7 Jimmy Fortune, Aug 14 Eddy Raven, Aug 15 David Frizzell, Aug 16 Mel Tillis, and Aug 21 Johnny Lee & Nadine. Apparently the Music Ranch owners prefer to advertise over the internet and you can subscribe to their newsletter or just check them out at MUSICRANCHMONTANA.NET or call 406-222-2255. There are many other country music fests going on around the Billings region including the previously post Red Ants Pants in White Sulphur Springs and a new Rocking the Rims at Coulson Park (Yeah, that is where they recently found a badly decomposed body and it was the site of the original city dump, but it has been restored now) in Billings and more around Sheridan, Wyoming.  As this blogger prefers bluegrass, cajun, and Celtic music he won't be attending these events, but some readers swing both ways, oops, meaning both bluegrass AND classic country.
