We arrived at the "Spring Creek Bluegrass Festival" while our good friends, the Zahasky’s, aka, "Alaska String Band" were playing their evening set. Not long after our arrival we took the stage, closing out the night. Little did we know that that night the Redhead Express kids along with 9 others would be working on songs for Saturday’s "Open Mic"! That night and the night after we stayed up late practicing and jamming ad such. And when Saturday morning came we all met up together and headed down to the stage to prepare for our "show". When our turn came all 16 of us piled on to the stage-not to mention the announcer, Billy (Now that’s a team effort!). For our first introduction each person took a turn saying their name, then Sean and I kicked it off with "Salt Creek" on banjo and fiddle. Partway through the set one of our leaders announced our band name by saying that they have a tradition of naming the band after whatever his friend ate for dinner the night before. And this year we were….."The Dog Biscuits"…
