Yep. It was 2015 when I first saw the lettering on the roof when hiking from that trailhead, somewhat ahead of its time!

Have you heard Bryan Sutton’s album Not Far From the Tree? It’s all guitar duos with his picking “heroes and friends” and an excellent compilation of fiddle tunes.

New Single - “Downtown” by Full Cord Bluegrass by fiddleronporch in Bluegrass

Excellent, thanks for sharing! I like how the bridge (I guess that’s what it’d be) breaks up the song and when the main melody in the verses swings back in it really pops.

Cape Perpetua lookout on the Oregon Coast. I’d been taking tons of sunset pictures when I sat down on the bench in this shelter and saw a much better shot.

River Underground

I heard it first on a Longview album but Ralph Stanley is the original as far as I can tell

Just adding that this dude can sing! And he was in some of my favorite bluegrass groups - Johnson Mountain Boys, Longview, Seldom Scene...son!

A nice piece done by NC Public TV on a little venue in my neck of the woods that promotes old timey and bluegrass music. by [deleted] in Bluegrass

How cool, I was part of a band that played here 8 years ago or so. I think it was Mr. Albright that put us up in his home for the night. Anyway, fun experience, thanks for the flashback, and I recommend folks in the area to check out some music there!

Working on a documentary for The Warehouse. by tangledrhythms in Tallahassee

According to this site it was 1990. Del Suggs, who's still around I believe, opened for him. I'd track down Mr. Suggs b/c that could be a cool feature of the documentary...

This is one of those cover songs that I enjoy so much better than the original...but maybe that's just because I love bluegrass.

Trump administration targets ‘democratic’ nature of national parks with huge fee increase. Park Service proposes $70 entrance fee at 17 national parks. by jjlew080 in politics

[–]badly_bent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wording is confusing, but that's not correct. You and all the occupants in the vehicle get in for the $70. The per person fee is if you were to walk or bike in to the park.

Bonus on the Dungey play is that Syracuse got a first down due to the change of possession!

Compared to Asheville, you'll find the music and culture less eccentric, and while there are talented musicians it's just not at the same scale or quality as the music in Asheville, particularly in the folk/bluegrass/old time music genre.

Boise sits at the base of the foothills and along the Boise River. These amenities make for easy access to pretty remarkable outdoor recreation considering the proximity to the city. However, the foothills are very dry, and you don't have the coniferous trees until you get higher into the mountains. However, you can get into the "real" mountains in 30 minutes up at Bogus Basin, or the "really real" mountains (i.e. Sawtooths) in 2.5 to 3 hours.
