Leftover Biscuits

A couple of years ago, I had the chance to reconnect between class reunions with my friend, Jim Sticka.

It was early November, and I was planning a trip to see my daughter in Flathead Valley. I knew Jim, his wife Robin, and sons had moved up there years ago.

So, I googled his name on the internet...actually hoping I would learn more about his wood crafting. Ya gotta love Google (and I do:) The first thing for Jim Sticka was the website for "Leftover Biscuits," the bluegrass band that Jim plays with. Yes, that is Jim in the tan shirt and hat playing the acoustic guitar.

Well, I showed up for their annual concert in Hot Springs, MT at the Symes Hotel, and was knocked over by their winsome performance and musicianship. At that time, Jim mentioned just a couple of classmates names, who he saw and spoke with at his concerts. I apologize for not spreading this wonderful news sooner....let me know if you'd like to meet for one of his spring, summer or fall concerts - I need another dose.
