| Congratulations Are In Order We would like to say our congrats to Roger Stamper who recently got married at the end of November. He and his wife Amy had a nice, small ceremony in a little country church. Kind of makes you think that there should be a bluegrass song in there somewhere. Best of wishes from us all and we hope that you have many, many happy years together.

| New Recording NOTA has scheduled some time at the end of February and first of March for a return to the Old House Recording Studio, in Dobson. We are getting all geared up to begin work on our next project. We are going to cut demos first of 3 or 4 original songs, then pitch them to some record labels. More information to soon follow.

| Logo Wanted NOTA wants a logo for the group. We have not really been able to come up with any great ideas, or at least not any that we all agree on. So we would like to ask for your assistance. If anyone might have an idea or wants to sketch out some samples for us, please do so and contact us at the email address below. We want to make some t-shirts and hats in the near future as well. Thanks for your help.

They
say that all good things must come to an end. Well that must be true of all things
in life including bluegrass music. Roger Stamper has recently decided to concentrate on
old-time music full-time. Joining up again with the Zephyr Lighting Bolts Old-Time,
he is playing mostly rhythm guitar and some fiddle. ZLB is glad to have Roger back
with the group and has started work on their next recording. NOTA has not yet
decided if we want to look for another fiddler or even a mandolin player, since David
plays either one. He now often pulls double duty by playing both, sometimes even in
the same song. Adding another fiddle player would be ideal since we like to have
twin fiddles on the waltzes and two-step tunes. We are focusing, at this time, on
improving our instrumentation, tightness and harmony vocals with the current line-up. NOTA
will miss Roger's fantastic fiddle playing and great sense of humor.
