SOME SELECT MOUNTAIN MUSIC :
The music played in the southern Appalachians for the past 200
or more years has been the basis for modern "bluegrass music".
I spent time around Damascus, Virginia in 1997 and on several nights
in each week we would take in " impromptu gatherings of local musicians"
at either town stores, community centers, even at a one engine firehouse !
Now, when I make it up to those mountains, I like to take in the local
musical gatherings, wherever I may find them ~ often, the music played
in these small events is really quite good indeed !
So, I want to pass along the following professional musical program which
was performed in my hometown Savannah, Georgia at our annual
Savannah Music Festival, click on: The Earls of Leicester
HAPPY TRAILS !
