The One and Only...MerleFest
It is that time of year here is good ole' Wilkes County, NC where we prepare for MerleFest. For those of you wondering what MerleFest is, I will enlighten you. MerleFest is the largest Americana music celebration in the United States. For for fun-filled days, 80,000 people travel from all over the world to hang out and listen to dozens of musicians including some very big names (ie Allison Kraus, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson just to name a few). I LOVE IT!
It is really funny. I didn't really appreciate Blue Grass or other types of folk music until I moved here. Then it kinda' grew on me. Everyone here plays an instrument it seems, and music is a part of life. I have always been fairly musically inclined, so I love living in a place where music is a big part of life!
