A few pictures with a bit of narrative to show what a Bluegrass
Festival is all about. First things

first - getting the trailer ready to go and showing the rear end to
the neighbors:





Wow, the Traveling Herring discovers bluegrass music 50 years after its

heyday, and long after the strictly purely acoustic sound was shattered

by amplified instruments.



Are you also posting on rec.overcommercialized.bluegrass?


Oh for pity sake, Harry. Just because you don't appreciate bluegrass
doesn't mean you need to condemn those who do.

Bluegrass is very old folk music and traditional. That's why some
bluegrass places won't allow electric instruments. Besides, if there
wasn't bluegrass, there wouldn't be any Country/Western or electric
instrument filled rock.


And once again, you've come to the wrong conclusion. I did not say or
imply I didn't like bluegrass music. I find it humorous Herring
"discovered" it 50 years after its heyday. I'm not a fan of electrified
bluegrass.


Just so we don't misunderstand you. What is your take on bluegrass music?
