I'm a little late on my New Year's wishes but I just returned from a holiday trip with little-to-no wifi.
2015 was an eventful year for me, and many thanks go to all of you who support the music of Alison Krauss & Union Station and my own music, and particularly this year my bluegrass instrumental record Hogan's House of Music and my end-of-year record, Carter's Creek Christmas.  

I wish everyone a very blessed and happy 2016!
