Entering The 21st Century / Bluegrass Festival

Can you believe it. I've finally entered the 21st century. I'm not sure how I did it but here I am
With Scotts help, I have set up a blog to keep you all informed of my extremely interesting life.
So keep checking back and you will see just how much fun NC is!!

-----------------------------------
Dyion and I went to the Coastal Bluegrass Festival Saturday. It was really good, and not too crowded. They had four bands that played in the morning and then again in the afternoon. They were SO good!

There was a band with a guy who played the washtub bass. He was really good. His was actually a washtub with a broomstick and nylon string. This bass was made by a guy in Shallotte. He made a wooden "broomstick" for it with a level on the back. When you play it you move the level down for higher tones and up for lower ones.

This one's for you, Shelley!!

Instruments made out of washtubs = North Carolina culture at its finest.
