Home Again

I am living in Johnson City, Tennessee attending East Tennessee State University now. I'm in their Bluegrass, Old-Time & Country Music degree program. It's really awesome and I've only been here three weeks to the day. There is a cool place here called the Down Home, an eclectic listening room for musicians. Last Saturday, Ed Snodderly, one of the owners, played there with his band The Brother Boys. I saw the SteelDrivers play on Friday night. I really liked hearing Richard Bailey play his banjo. He and Tammy Rogers would play banjo and fiddle lines note for note with each other, so cool. Her fiddle playing had chills crawling over me most of the night. Both shows were really great. I can feel the potential for myself here, it feels so good to find where you're supposed to be, and I have found a strong sense of place here.

Be true to yourself.
