Bobby Osborne Part One July 7, 2012

Bobby Osborne Part One July 7, 2012

Older than God but young at heart, Bobby Osborne embodies a lot of bluegrass history. The voice of Rocky Top is not only the voice of experience, but an entirely gracious and genuine man, and he may have been as grateful to talk to KDNK's Nina Dropcho as she was to talk with him. Bobby brings the Rocky Top Express to Colorado twice this month. He plays twice at the High Mountain Hay Fever Festival in Westcliffe on July 13 and 14. And then he returns to play Rocky Grass on July 28.
