Fiddlers Convention in Loudon this weekend (ahem*today*)

[karlaBOO]

The annual Fiddlers Convention is this weekend. Sadly, I just found out last night. I usually go with my parents.

Bluegrass bands, and musicians, come from all over the country to compete at the Fiddlers Convention. It is outdoors, and all of these people have their RVs parked all around the area of the main stage. If you want to walk around, you will hear spontaneous groups of complete strangers making lovely music together. I highly recommend that any musician go, just for the experience of seeing a community of musicians living together for three days.

I, personally, am not into bluegrass. But I really enjoy going to this with my family.
