Pleasant Garden, NC

Last Thursday, we drove to Hagen-Stone Park near Greensboro, NC for the annual High Lonesome Strings Camp-N-Pick. We spent the whole weekend visiting with musician friends from the Triad area and playing a wide variety of music from old-time to bluegrass. For the first time in ages, I played all of my instruments - bass, fiddle, banjo and mandolin - over the course of the weekend. What fun!

On Saturday evening, we were treated to a covered dish supper featuring some delicious pork barbecue prepared by our resident chef, Kent, with help from his cut-up friend, Brent. I nicknamed them the "Ent" brothers. ;-) After we all pigged out, we were entertained by the Snyder Family Band featuring 10-year old Samantha on fiddle and 14-year old Zeb on guitar. Talk about young talent - wow! Then the picking sessions resumed until the wee hours of the night. . .
