It was a wonderful (& busy!) 4 days in Morganton, North Carolina, for the 6th Annual Red White & Bluegrass Festival. The Bluegrass Talent was top-notch. It was quite an enjoyable experience of live music, great food and visiting with friends. I personally would like to thank Gary Leonhardt, Parks & Recreation Director for the City of Morganton for again inviting me to serve as MC for this professionally run event. I would also like to thank Mike Ramsey for all his assistance backstage. As my time allowed, I took some photos and recorded some interviews for Knee-Deep In Bluegrass. Be listening for the interviews on upcoming shows. Enjoy my photo-account of the Red White & Bluegrass Festival!~CB
