Meet the Jubetts!

I'm sure there will be more pictures to post as they get emailed, shared, posted on Facebook etc. These are the ones that I took, along with Eric Aldrich's picture snagged from the Facebook.

Bruce and I, along with Dick Bowden, two Hobarts, Jesse and Colby both April's brothers, performed the ceremonial music. Candy Gal, Roxanna's Waltz, and then Shave and a Haircut after the kiss (shouting "Jubetts!") and Foggy Mountain Breakdown recessional.

Very cool, very bluegrass. Their vows were filled with love for each other and for their music.
Dennis Molesky of the Mole Hill Theater was the JP; and he did a great job.

Post dinner music supplied by friends and family; Dick Bowden was emcee and herder of cats for the event and he did a fine job.










sort of dark, and I only had my phone for pictures. stage on the newly made deck (thanks Shawn Griffiths!)
Dick Bowden is always recognizable in silhouette by his hat.










flower girls captivated!


All in all, a great bluegrass wedding with a happy ending, unlike all those bluegrass songs about weddings with bad endings. No one had to be drowned.

A very mustard wedding

It's not often bands get to experience a wedding from within!

We're about to go from a band of three last names, Hobart, Jubett and Stockwell to just two last names, Stockwell and Jubett.

From the wedding we played for Pandi and Tim last weekend, after the service before the reception.
We were at a cool spot in Wallingford VT.

Bill and April met each other at Joe Val 7 or 8 years ago.  April  met Andy Sicard at Banjo Camp North  After meeting Andy who is in  The Goodtime String Band (formerly the Goodtime Charlies) she got introduced to the rest of the band; one of those members was Bill Jubett.  She soon joined the Charlies.

I (kelly) did a brief stint with the Goodtime Charlies, but only having played bass for 6 months, there was no way I could keep up with the immense song list, which included many old time tunes that were so crooked they turned back on themselves.

Below is a picture from The Birch Benders, Bill and April's duo page.  Caption from the website says this is from 2006.  Aren't they cute?

Soon to be married couple number 2, Bill and April.


Weather report for today is perfect, low humidity, sun and tonight a full moon.  Looking forward to the wedding and the picking party afterward.

And to clarify, here's me and Bruce, the other married couple.
