Broken String Fling has changed it's name to Another Grateful Gathering (AGG) Feb 17-20. Please "follow" the page below. Yes, Bobbie D is still involved and has asked 10 year old JC to help me with managing the stage. Yes, we will need some volunteers so check back on Facebook for updates.

SAVE THE DATE for Another Grateful Gathering (AGG) at Florida Sands Music Ranch Feb 17-20th. Broken String Fling has ended after 15 years along with Sertoma Youth Ranch after 48 years. AGG is still a loosely knit, duct taped together no arm band music gathering to benefit the Ranch. No reservations, just show up!

BROKEN STRING FLING 15
SERTOMA YOUTH RANCH FEB 18-21
This is a loosely knit, duct taped together, no arm band
Kind of camping and music fling to BENEFIT the Ranch

Weather was perfect for a Grateful Gathering!
What a powerful weekend of love, healing, music, giving. So many praises of Thanks to be given out. THANK YOU to Pat Beach providing our sound for 15 years...also thank you Mark for lending a hand with the sound! THANK YOU KK for many years of breakfast burritos, Bloody Mary bar, beer tastings and THANKS to the KK Krew too. THANK YOU Rick & HOB Brewing Dunedin for providing beer & trailer for many years. THANK YOU Jeff for logistics on beer trailer (and morning coffee) THANK YOU Perry from Ed's Fine Wine for keeping the wine flowing at BSF. THANK YOU to the all the musicians who are giving up their weekend to play for us!! THANK YOU Red for keeping the Ranch looking better than ever (and securing our chimney log). THANKS to Joy for doing that hard job of collecting camping fees when we are a "no arm band" event. THANK YOU to the bridge builders Richard, John, Greg, Steve & Red! THANK YOU to Bobbie's team who set up, tore down & just did what needed to be done. THANKS TO EVERYONE for your love of the Ranch. We raised almost $14,000 from camping, membership & donations...a record for sure! If you forgot to pay for camping or still would like to donate, please mail a check to Sertoma Youth Ranch and indicate that it is for Broken String Fling. Since BSF was organized by Bill and Bobbie, it only makes sense to end BSF on 15 years and start a new fling called A Grateful Gathering that still will be 100% benefit for the Ranch. Mark your calendars now for Feb 17th to 20th 2023 WE THANK YOU ALL for your participation in song & Bill's Grateful Tree of Life!
