A Little Saturday Nite Bluegrass Div ( Sorrow and Hope subsection)

I last visited Asheville in 1997(?) when my nephew lived there. Visited the Biltmore Estate and the downtown. 

The devastation of Hurricane Helene was amazing and tragic. So much great Bluegrass music has come out of the area, I can only hope its influence will help with the recovery and healing.

Geography Div ( Slow down subsection)

 Here in the wonderful (?) state of South Dakota, the Interstate speed limit is (mostly) 80MPH. State Troopers will give yo 81, but 82 is too fast.

Balsam Range doing a pretty topical song; We'll All Eat Money When the Well Runs Dry.  Thinlk about it.

Balsam Range is Buddy Melton (fiddle, lead and tenor vocals); Dr. Marc Pruett (banjo); Alan Bibey ( Mandolin, vocals) Tim Surrett (bass, dobro, baritone and lead vocals); and Caleb Smith (guitar, lead & baritone vocals).

Geography Div (Going to the dogs subsection)

 On Mrs Bear's last visit to London to see the grandkids, she couldn't find any Corgi Merchandise. Guess with the Queen's passing they went out of favor. Oh well.
