[...] no surprise that the #1 event of the year is the change up in band personnel. As we reported in May Bryan Dondero left the band. The ultimate reasons for his departure remain personal and, I’m sure, still somewhat [...]

Bryan, best of luck to you… I picked up on GPN only a few years ago and have been hooked ever since (here in Delaware). I have caught most every show in this area and was excited for the 8×10 show in Baltimore, as I just found out I have to do some long term commuting next month.
That Thursday show was to be my “mental floss” for the week. Luckily I have my archive.org sets on my ipod…
Fair winds and following seas…

I’m happy for Bryan…..I hope he’s happy too. Sad for the Band and the Posse…..but you know what they say…. “He closes one door but usually opens another…….” I think we will find that the next open door leads to positive things…

And where can I get one of those pickles????????????????

Glad I’m not Irish…St Patrick’s day would be ruined.
Bryan- we await great things, good luck to a new beginning. Thank you for finally coming to the front of the stage….
Grace, Matt and Scott- take your time and make the right choice!

Bryan will be missed, and please, do not mis-interpret this following part -
in the entire scheme of things, this is not the end of GPN, just another part
of life. everything changes, nothing remains the same, and even though we cannot control events that happen in our lives, we do completely control one aspect -how we react to those events. be supportive, be respectful, be kind -
this is what matters most.
Bryan, your presence will be missed on the GPN stage and environment, and we wish you the best.
peace to you all -
Joe and Teri

Sorry to hear the news, but thankful I was able to catch a few GPN shows and even a B&L show with Bryan. Wishing him well on all his future endeavors and will continue to follow his work.

” A powerful story about life’s choices, indecision, the potential for regret and the fear of pursuing dreams and so much more.” Well said Mojo.

Horrible and sad news. For me the journey has always been about the four of them. I feel like I just lost a family member.

My best friend’s mother died this week, and I went to the calling hours last night; so my thoughts today are with the living who are left behind. Grace, Matt, and Scott: though it’s not as great a loss, I’m sorry for yours as well. Bryan has already had my good wishes – today all good wishes are for the three of you.
