On Saturday, July 25th we drove home from the Nantahala Village in North Carolina back to good ole' Suwanee. After unpacking and cleaning ourselves up we piled back into the cars again to drive over to downtown Suwanee for some Barn music.
I discovered the Barn in high school when Josh and the high school gang would go hang out there after the Stake dances. I thought the boys were ridiculous because they thought it was so cool to sit on old church pews in a barn converted into a stage/hall and listen to old people sing about the Civil War. But the more I went I realized that it wasn't always the Everett Brothers singing old songs but it was newer, younger groups playing some mighty fine blue-pickin'-grass. You could listen to more professional groups play in the Barn or you could walk across the driveway to the Everett home and listen to a different pick-up group play in each room of the house.
So now it's tradition to take any and all visitors on down to the Barn for some foot-stoppin' good music. And Saturday's performance was just as good as I remember.
