If you don't hear from me until late Sunday afternoon, it's not necessarily because I'm dead or something. I'm heading up to Grass Valley for the annual Father's Day Bluegrass Music Festival.
I don't even know who (famous) is playing this year. I just go for the jamming, and to see friends I haven't seen in several months. I'll take my Martin D-18 guitar, a sleeping bag, probably my bicycle, and not much else (except necessities like clothing and wine).
Wish me a good time. I'll attach one of my favorite songs that I sing in Jam circles with my friends Kathy and Liz. This version is by the Seldom Scene. Adios amigos!

That sounds like great fun! Enjoy it! What a great tune, needs a good tenor to jam on that.

@TheHorse Good, those notes are hard. I sang tenor in choral groups and the Soldiers' Chorus at Fort Ord. I can't sing that high now.

My mom was an avid Bluegrasser. She attended every festival in Atlantic Canada and a few in Maine. She wrote her own songs and recorded a few Bluegrass CD's that she would sell from the trunk of her car to others at the festivals. She was somewhat of a celebrity around these parts.
Have a good time at the Festival. Happy jamming!

@TheHorse I don't think so. My mom wasn't internet savvy, although there is a video that was uploaded to YouTube in her memory.
