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.

If they don't do it in New Haven Harry doesn't think it is worth
doing.
He lives a very cloistered life and likes to talk like he is a man of
the world with an open mind.
He is the kind of guy who goes to Alaska, shuttles from the cruise
ship to the places the bus takes him and then comes home telling us
how he saw everything.

Of course a lot of the folk tunes that were popular in the late
50s/early 60s had their roots in Bluegrass. Basically Harry just
likes to be a snot no matter what the topic is. That's his chosen
personna and he revels in it.
