I had the best trip/vacation just a week ago to Gettysburg, PA. Toured the Gettysburg Battlefield and the museum and learned a ton about the famous Civil War battle, but also had a great musical experience at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival at Granite Hill. Saw performances from Mountain Heart, Blue Highway, The Seldom Scene, Infamous Stringdusters, Dehlia Low, Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, and Alison Kraus and Union Station, among many other great performers.
My dad recently purchased and has started playing/practicing w/the mandolin and I toyed w/it, as well, and have decided I could actually play a string instrument. Debating b/t the mando and the guitar. Leaning twd acoustic guitar. Opening my mind to all the possibilities.
