Editorial absence

The BIB editor reports:

As mentioned earlier this week, I'll be out of the editorial chair between 5 May and 15 May; so please keep sending in news, but don't expect it to appear before Monday 16 May at the earliest.

The last few days have brought plenty of news items for consideration. If you were a friend of Martin Gilligan, please add your comments to the post on his greatly regretted death; though unfortunately, they will probably have to wait till I return before being published.

On a lighter note, please consider the possibilities of a bluegrass package trip to Kentucky this year, and send your views to Brian Ingarfield. And if you wish to become embroiled in the ongoing 'What Is Bluegrass Anyway' (WIBA)* argument, there's a long and very thought-provoking article by Chris Pandolfi of the Infamous Stringdusters, which you can read here.
