Photo of the Week #4


A few years ago a buddy of mine and I went to southwest Virginia to Clinch Mountain, the home of the Iconic Bluegrass musician, Ralph Stanley. Here’s Ralph signing records and CD’s for some of the thousands of fans who come to his family farm every Memorial Day weekend for three days of fantastic Bluegrass, Gospel and Mountain Music. Fans come from far and near. They bring their motor homes, trailers and book up every nearby hotel/motel room in the region. Everywhere you turn there is music. The main stage features well known performing groups from all over the country. At the same time, people gather around the RVs and jam. Then they’ll move on to another group and just join in. It’s a grand weekend, rain or shine.

Enthusiastically,
Ed
