I had the best time ever yesterday @ Mineral,VA bluegrass festival, the temperatture was in the mid 90’s, there were plenty of shade trees, The main draws were the Del McCoury Band & the Grascals. There was alot of enthusiasm abounding. It was so good to see Barry Scott in top form with his group Second Wind, ther is youthful exuberance abounding. The festival grounds for excellent music is recommendable.
