Full Version: Life in the South

This past week, we finally did something we have been wanting to do for a long time: attend a Bluegrass Hoedown at our local Farmer's Market!

A city boy at heart, events like this were so foreign to me when I first moved South. Now...I cherish them. More on the blog. thumbsup.gif

Yummy SOOC lens flair:


I used nothing but TRA 1&2 to process the rest:

Awesome shots! clap.gif
You gotta love the South man!!

My family and I have a Bluegrass band, (I play Mandolin and sing lead) we play things like that every now and then. If you like Bluegrass and love the festivals, check out Shindig on the green.
It happens every year in Asheville NC... Awesome stuff! Allison Krauss actually showed up a few years ago!
We try to make it at least once a year, but we've never played :-(

Maybe one day... laughing.gif

Bluegrass and 4-part harmony. Sometimes so bad it's good.

Amen there!
But then you have to ask yourself... If it's bad... Would it still be called "harmony"? laugh.gif

Haha. It all depends on where in Virginia you are talking about. I love when people from Tampa area say they are from the south. Soo funny. They have no idea what "the south" is really like.

Most of Florida are New Yorkers and Jersey transplants that wanted to move out to the country. thumbsup.gif
