Another good 'urn

Downtown was hoppin', especially in the vicinity of 1144 E. Main Street. At one point I counted 15 pickers and 25 listeners -- 40 people inside The Coffee Mill! More filtered in and out throughout the evening.

Joe indulged in a couple of originals on a night when banjers reined. Wayne and George sang many fine numbers, guitarists and mandolinists picked sweetly, and the wheels came off an old-time fiddle medley. In other words, just another hard-driving bluegrass jam session in Radford (except that we actually had a guy playing a washtub bass near the end of the evening. He was pretty good!)

It was a good one! Thought it was pretty funny how people were taking pics of the guy with the washtub bass. You'd think they hadn't seen something like that before!

Is there a jam on the 18th??

You know it, anonymous.

Anonymous is kind of a strange name for a bluegrass picker, don't ya think, Ralph? Sounds more like a hard rocker!

I will not approve on it. I think precise post. Specially the title-deed attracted me to be familiar with the unscathed story.
