Practicing for a show a few years ago. A bucket list tune for me. The actual performance a few weeks later included a wonderful female singer adding harmony and a crack concertina player in front of a great audience at the #ArtsCenter in #Carrboro, #NC. Sadly no recording was made, so have to settle for the practice.

#GenreOfTheWeek Twice a year some of the best #bluegrass, #country, and #OldTime musicians put on a performance at the #Carrboro #ArtsCenter. Here’s a tune from a 2015 show. These folks just feel this music down deep. The guy in the vest is #JimWatson of #RedClayRamblers fame.

We spent a few hours getting our hands dirty at the Arts Center of the Capital Region this afternoon. The open house really makes it clear that this organization does a world of good in our community.

The instructors were knowledgeable, fun, personable and the space and studio set ups are ample and thoughtfully equipped.

I really should have explored here sooner.

One more for the day from me. I'm rehearsing one of my favorite tunes for a show a few years ago. Wish I had the actual performance at the #Carrboro #ArtsCenter later that week. The wonderful Maria Fairchild sang harmony with me and Ted Erhard played the sentimental concertina.

This one always hits me hard, maybe because I'm from an immigrant family and grew up in that environment. The sense of dislocation, distance from what you knew as home...

Not a great recording but a lovely performance nonetheless from #RebeccaNewton and her daughter Abigail Sheriff. From 2018 at our annual Christmas show at the #Carrboro #ArtsCenter. Not a dry eye in the place.
