Last night we went to see Del McCoury and his band at the Barns of Wolf Trip (the tix were a birthday present to me from my hubby). If you've never seen him live before, Del puts on a fantastic show and has a great rapport with the audience. We've seen him live a few times now. Anyway, his son, Ronnie, has put out a CD of bluegrass music for kids, in hopes of getting a new generation interested in the music. Here's a link to a press release about it (it's now available in stores, I believe, though this dates from before the release):

Perhaps my whooping and hollering will be immortalized. Or not. Also, for those of you with HD radio, Del will be on WAMU's Talk of the Nation from 3-4 p.m. today:
