In case you hadn't heard, the planet Pluto has been demoted in the Solar System's hierarchy of who's who among celestial bodies. The last time I checked, Pluto had been reclassified as a dwarf planet. In honor of that, I think the 28.25 day long February should also be reclassified as a dwarf month. It deserves special recognition for supporting President's Day, Valentine's Day, Washington's birthday, Lincoln's birthday, and Oregon's birthday all during its short span.
But even as the abbreviated month passes into history for another year, we managed to pack it full of UM-activity. For the month, tracks from our new CD Pavement and Pathways as well as tracks from our first release One Fret Makes a Difference put the band on the "All Time" APD Top 50 Global Bluegrass Albums Chart.

We were there for the entire month just as we had been in December for our Christmas release. Earlier in October and November, we held the #1 spot on the Top 50 Global Bluegrass Albums Chart and the Top 50 Global Bluegrass Singles Charts.

Looking forward, some things have already overlapped from the tightly packed February into the more spacious March. One of these is an article in Cybergrass magazine about our single release on Poetman Records/Acoustic Rainbow. It can be found by CLICKING HERE

We hope everyone had a wonderful February full of chocolate candy and Federal holidays, but if your February wasn't the greatest... well, at least it goes by fast!
