The Founding and Growth of the Boston Bluegrass Union

By Bill Nowlin

Preface

I’d like to thank Bill Nowlin for reaching out to the Boston Bluegrass Union (BBU) and offering his services to document the history of the BBU. Bill brings a wealth of skills and insight to the project, as one of the Rounder Records founders, and a long history of books on wide ranging topics, including music and baseball.

A special thanks to all those interviewed and who contributed to this project. I encourage further contributions to this project. Send any comments, suggestions or additional material to [email protected].
