    What a great video. The banjo, the slide guitar and the mandolin solos were awesome. Great story. I love hearing about this stuff. We need more of this culture to stick around. Its much more valuable then what people today give it.

    This makes me so homesick! I grew up in Weaverville NC and had family in Morganton. Spontaneous bluegrass picking was such an important passtime. I will always cherish simple living and you captured that beautifully!
