Party at Ed and Karen's May 2008

We went to a party at Ed and Karen's house. We played music until the food was ready. Then we ate hot dogs and chips. Then we played music some more. That's what pickin' is about.  Food, talking and music.  Other people arrived. We left around 1:30 a.m. I miss these times. I always had a blast even though I could not play the guitar that well. 

Bruce and Tyler switched instruments...  It is always good to be able to play multiple instruments...

Me singing Blue Kentucky Girl

One of my mom's favorite songs to sing was Blue Kentucky Girl.  I learned how to sing and play this song on the guitar after she passed away.  It is also one of my favorite bluegrass/country songs to sing now.  This was back in 2010.  It has been awhile since I have played the guitar.
