What I’ve Been Doing This Week
I started a month long sabbatical this week (I’ll be posting thoughts on it here on the blog as well) This week I have been reading, relaxing, and enjoying a lot of old-time and bluegrass music. Our town hosts the oldest and largest fiddlers convention in the world each year. It’s a huge event, with people camping all week long and playing music long into the night. Here’s an aerial view of the convention.
The best part of the week is watching my kids play and compete. It’s been a great week to unwind.
My ten year old son has been playing fiddle for the last year and competed in youth old-time fiddle. My fourteen year old son placed fifth in youth mandolin and his band of youth all-stars finished fourth. Here are just a few clips of their music. It’s incredible to see the talent that the youth have.
