Bluegrass Weekends...

The last two weekends we have been at bluegrass shows.Not that Adam watches the show, but I do. I find a place with good light and I sit up my chair and hook.Ryan,our grandson has went with us so I don't get as much hooking done.

Here you see Adam jamming.That what they do ,everyone stands in a circle and picks.

This is Ryan picking and singing for some ladies that came by.One sweet lady gave him $3.00 all in dimes and from that time on he wanted to stop everyone and sing to them.This was last weekend.

This weekend at the Eureka Springs Bluegrass Show Ryan was ready to pick some more.Here he is walking into the place everyone was to be jamming.

Here Ryan is getting a few pointers from Papaw.

Now they are really jamming.

Live Deeply and go jamming.

Birthdays and House Concert...

This week was Adam's birthday.Dang! he is getting old.His Mom is here for a visit and our daughter and grandbaby came out for cake and icecream.Amber made her Dad a cake with no flour because he is allergic to flour.

Friday night Adam's band played a house concert and the Pontica Coffee House is Springdale Ar.This is a great place that started it's life as a Pontica car dealership.It was built by the grandfather of the lady that now runs the coffee house.

The coffee shop is in the part that housed the new cars and they hold the concerts in the back where they used to work on the cars.
By-the-way they make GREAT coffee.


Above is Adam at his best.He and his banjo are like peas and carrots.He has been playing the banjo sense he was 16 and he started playing the mandolin at 3.He can not read music but plays by ear and can play anything with strings.

This is the whole band New Highway: from the left...Karen and Tim Hill,Ken Jones,Adam Hardcastle and Dallas Prouty.
Stateline Bluegrass Band was also there but none of my pictures of them were any good.
