The BIB editor reports:

A number of the United New Primitive Original Reformed (Old Allegiance) Monrovian Brethren met privately in Dublin last night to honour the centenary of the birth of the Father of Bluegrass. As an elder of the local congregation, I'm glad to report that the occasion was appropriately marked. Thanks to Brother Aran Sheehan for his hospitality, and for making the meeting possible.

Update: Thanks also to Brother Patrick Simpson for the original artwork above, based on a silkscreen artist proof he created in 2001.
