Hello bluegrass friends, it has been a very busy and exciting year for our group Southern Missouri Bluegrass and we also go by our new name Lewis and Clark Bluegrass Expedition http://www.southernmobluegrass.org and http://lewisandclarkbluegrass.homestead.com We have played many festivals and other bluegrass venues. I am president of the George D. Hay Society, the Society for the Preservation of the George D. Hay Legacy, as many of your know Mr. Hay got his idea and inspiration for the Grand Ole Opry at a small Ozark town on the Arkansas/Missouri line of Mammoth Spring, Ark. You can see the story on our website http://gdhaysociety.tripod.com

I was deeply saddened by the news that Jim had passed away. I have a lot of fond memories of him and the kids and the festival. The Downstate Ramblers played his show for many years and always looked forward to it each year. I remember one particular year, when Jim got me and Gerald Jones off to the side prior to the Saturday night show, and said, we need to have a little fun tonight. He got Gerald and myself to rig up a couple of flash pots on the stage. Well, we couldn't find any flash powder, so we used some gun powder. Right in the middle of Devil Went Down To Georgia, the sound crew was supposed to set off the flash pots. And They Did Their Job Well.!!!! trouble was that we had a little too big old tree right by the stage during the show. Needless to say, The Downstate Ramblers were always eager to play Jims shows... We had so much fun. The Downstate Ramblers have been retired for many years, but we still remember the good times and good friend that Jim and his family were to us. I was proud to have helped on the production of one of the Redheads albums and always enjoyed Jim's company. He will be greatly missed. I am sorry to be this late with this but Judy and myself now live in Baker City, Oregon, and I did not hear about his passing until recently. I will miss you Jim. J.D. Webb formerly with The Downstate Ramblers.

"red" will be greatly missed, and his contributions to bluegrass music in the mid west are vastly under rated, but he never did it for any kind of praise or recognition, it was the true love of the music, he gave alot of us, (me included) a place to play and to learn, i was more nervous as an 18 year old kid on the stage at matherville for the first time than i was on the stage of the opry, jim, you went out the way we all should, doing what we love, rest well old friend, youve earned it, next time we meet, it will be in a better place, your definately playing with the best now!!!
I'm sure most have heard by now that we lost Grandpa (Jim) Barnes early on March 25th. I'm working on a tribute page on the bluegrass site. Please feel free to share any comments or stories with us in this thread.
