A Little Saturday Nite Bluegrass Div (Beatles subsection)

Last week I posted this ensemble doing Buffalo Springfield's For What It's Worth.
Since the Bear and his Judy just left London for a Med cruise, thought this Beatles tune was timely.
Cover is by the Gibson Brothers and the players are below.

Geography Div (Gettin' outta town subsection)


Here in the beautiful Black Hills, we don't experience the wonderful time folks in the Metropoli of our country get to deal with. RUSH HOUR !! - sometimes it lasts a long time. Trust me, when I was Driving4$$ in the DC area it was always a factor. Here's a great article on how long it might take you to get away.

A Little Saturday Nite Bluegrass Div (Buffalo Springfield subsection)

"A few months ago, a bunch of friends got together to play music in Nashville, under the guise of prepping for DelFest. No one knew it would turn into something so special! Members of Del McCoury Band, The Travelin McCourys, Gibson Brothers, Sierra Hull, Justin Moses, Ethan Jodziewicz, Cody Kilby, and Dre Anders of Dre and the Collective told stories and sang songs, turning it into a family jam. From left to right: Justin Moses, Jason Carter, Sierra Hull, Rob McCoury, Ronnie McCoury, Del McCoury, Cody Kilby, Ethan Jodziewicz, Alan Bartram, Leigh Gibson, Dre Anders, Eric Gibson None of us were quite sure why we cut the song back in May, but thought we might find a need for it down the road. I guess after this past weekend's events in Charlottesville the need is here. Here's our cover of Buffalo Springfield's iconic protest song, For What It's Worth."

Geography Div ( Relocation subsection)

Certainly has been a crappy weekend for the folks in Florida. With Friend's homes on Sanibel and in Sarasota, even more  so. Hope the damage is less than expected and all will work out.
Otherwise, consider this ( just leave that crook posing as governor, Rick Scott and all the other right-wing idiots, there ... please):
