Hey hey had a fun weekend! On Friday, I played at Prairie Island Campground for their Boats and Bluegrass Festival, singing during the 10:00 AM Bloody Mary bar. Wowza! Tons of fun. Here’s a little live video I made.
If the good Lord’s willin’ and the creek don’t rise, I’ll post more vids from this weekend soon!
Cheers,
Jack

I’ve been picking old hokum blues and ragtime jazz by the great Blind Boy Fuller for as long as I can remember. Pretty sure I popped out singing, “Rag, Mama, Rag.” Fuller’s real name is Fulton Allen and he’s a good ol’ North Carolina boy. Born in 1904 in beautiful Wadesboro. God’s country out that…
