Is anyone else concerned about the prospect of this happening in NC? |
|
Hillary or Obama taking the stage at Merlefest.
Please tell me neither one of them would be dumb enough to do that.
Please god, please.

32. A guitar player killed in a farming accident 20 years ago |

He's the son of Doc Watson and for 20 years they've been organizing a concert in his honor.

I like traditional music. There is an informal group of pickers in my neighborhood and I love to listen to them play.

38. It's a fabulous time! |

I remember seeing Doc several times at outdoor concerts years ago in KY. He always had a faithful following there. When I lived in near Boone this was huge for the area.

14. Merle Haggard is one of the few outspoken Dem |
|
supporters in the C&W music industry.
He's a definite anti-* and he has said that he is po'd about the Iraqi Invasion. Why would it be a bad idea for Hillary or Barack to show up at one of his concerts?

"traditional" music? That's rather vague.
