Damn, I got excited for a second because I thought it was coming up soon lmao

Huh, weird. "America's oldest popular music sound" originated in the 40s, and is largely a postwar style, newer than jazz and country, certainly not heard on Jefferson's plantation(not that it would be a selling point anyway)

If you don't mind driving a little bit further...

I’m familiar with that one! Haven’t gotten a chance to go yet, but it’s on my to-do list.

I've loves the music since I was little. I'm getting back to playing guitar and that's the direction I'm headed. Looking to learn some stuff.

Bluegrass is nice because it can be as simple or complex as you want as a player. You can strum along with the basic chords which is easy, but then you can work up to crazy fast solos and stuff. So rewarding too.

Love Quiet Oaks Campground. Still haven't made it up for the festival. The owner is super cool.

That's what I clicked in to say, marketing's a hell of a drug

Maybe because the banjo itself was played on plantations?
