Our (UK) Bluegrass Festivals are a little thin on the ground to say the least - but they tend to be quite traditional so you’ll struggle to walk past a picking session without hearing Whisky Before Breakfast, St. Anne’s Reel, Blackberry Blossom, Fox on the Run etc.
Anybody fancy giving a shot at a what typical Telluride pickin’ top 10 might sound like?
We might just have to learn some new tunes for the trip.
That’s another big difference Tom (I think a Mayor is addressed as ‘Your Worship’ in England, you must correct me if Tom is too informal) :eek
You seem to have lots of music lovers out to really enjoy the music, whereas in the UK, almost everybody at the Bluegrass festivals and gatherings are players as well.
It’s fantastic until you make a mistake, then it’s a musician’s worst nightmare! :lol :lol :lol
I’d figured that Mayor was an honorary thing ‘Your Worshipfulness.’
