Bell Buckle Cruise Pics Online

Wow, you just can't go wrong getting a gig on a bluegrass cruise, can you?!  We had a great time pickin' and grinnin', reacquainting ourselves with some old friends and meeting some new ones!  We have pictures online on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/nothinfancybg.  Don't have a Facebook account?  Don't worry, you don't need one in order to look at the pictures.  We've also got some up from the Jekyll Island GA show earlier this year!  (If you do have a Facebook account and you haven't "liked" us yet, what are you waiting for?)

 

And yes, for those of you who like to plan out your vacations well in advance, we're plotting and planning for 2012 on what our cruising / resort vacationing plans will be with y'all.  After all, you just can't go wrong getting a gig on a bluegrass cruise or resort, can you!?
