This afternoon we had an old time jam in our kitchen with a fine bunch of "old timers". It was a real reunion of friends, some of whom have been playing music together for 30 or more years. There were fiddles, banjos, mandolins, string bass, ukuleles and guitars. The occasion was prompted by the visit of our friends, Lewis and Katie from Asheville, NC. They were part of the original Stone Mountain Country Band and, later on, the Peavine Creek String band which is still going strong after 20+ years. The tradition of music making at home still lives on! Come and join us sometime!

Wow, that's a lot of jammin' and a lot of instruments, all in our kitchen...it's amazing how long you have all been playing together. Everyone looks like they are having so much fun!
This is so cool!!! The Anderson 'rents are awesome. Sometime you all will have to take a video and post it- would LOVE to hear the music you all play.
It's funny that Lynda posted about string band music. Because this morning I just heard about a band (on NPR's Weekend Edition) from the Piedmont in NC that is single-handedly bringing back the traditional music of all-black stringbands. They are called Carolina Chocolate Drops and seem just fabulous.

i think you saw that band right mom? looks like fun...
Mae and Daniela, we saw the Carolina Chocolate Drops here in Decatur a few months ago. They are really great and if you ever get a chance to see them definitely do! Lots of good music comes out of North Carolina (my home state!). Lynda
