The Rain was the Main Thing



We really got dumped on Saturday afternoon. While waiting for the Waybacks to start, it started coming down in buckets. Sally and Susan got under a tree under our lawn tarp while I got trapped in the merchant tent with a scowling North Wilksboro policeman trying to control the overcrowding. I think I was the last one he let into the tent.

Well, the rain finally let up, and they were able to get the music cranked back up, especially on the main Watson stage. But it stayed somewhat "rainy" the rest of the day. I was feeling really quesy y this time, so I went back to the RV early while S & S stayed to see Ricky Skaggs and Bruce Hornsby. They said that was a really good show.

Sunday afternoon saw us sitting up close because so many people left because of the rain the previous day. We got up close and personal with Alison Brown, then Jerry Douglas. Both these musicians were so very excellent. Check out The Music of Jerry Douglas of Union Station and The Music of Alison Brown. I was lucky enough to get Alison's autograph on her new as yet unreleased CD.

North Myrtle Beach for Locals - a New Website

OK - on to a different subject. I have just posted a new sebsite, NMB for Locals. It's here I'll try and talk about places to go in the NMB area favored by locals. It's brand new, so leave some comments here if you like and or don't like it, or want to add your 2 cents.
