Here's one I bet you guys haven't heard of: Dougie MacLean from Scotland. He's an awesome songwriter. Check him out on Amazon. I think his best album is "Craigie Dhu" from his early work. Best song: "Caledonia". Check him out, it is well worth your time. That is all. As you were.

I worked in a music store in Old Town Chicago in the 60's....met and talked to Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendricks, Beach Boys and many others.Got a signed Fender from Jimi that I won't sell for any money.....a friend of mine was in Janis' band (Big Brother and the Holding Company) until he got sent up for heroin....A lot of memories, good and bad. Too many great singers, song writers and musicians destroyed by drugs,

To all you Traditional music and Bluegrass fans...here is something I would highly recommend if you can go: The "YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND's HARVEST MUSIC FESTIVAL" will be held at Mulberry Mountain, north of Ozark, Arkansas on Arkansas Highway 23 on October 14-15-16. The event site at Mulberry Mountain has fast become a fantastic place in northwest Arkansas for arts and crafts shows, and outstanding outdoors music festivals in the last three years. On four stages, music each day from about noon through at least 10 or 11pm at night. It is about two and a half hours south of Branson. Here is the line-up for the main stage:   Dirtfoot, Cornmeal, Martin Sexton, Brett Dennen, Railroad Earth, Big Smith, The Travelin' McCourys, Donna the Buffalo, Split Lip, Leftover Salmon, Younder Mountain String Band, Oakhurst, Infamous Stringdusters, Emmit Nershi Band, Sam Bush, and Keller Williams and the Keels.
COST: $159 for three day pass, $99 for two day pass, $69 for the Oct. 16th shows only. For additional info:   www.yonderharvestfestival.com

WOW!!! Why are bluegrass festivals  so darn expensive?

[Junior]

It costs a lot to stage an event, plus pay the bands. I understand this is a great venue, a wonderful place to enjoy music in the sun and moon light.

Got to get my bluegrass on today. Violet was out there at the craft festival and she let me play again. I got video of it and will be posting it soon!

I like mostly classic rock. Of course I know the definition of "classic" varies from one person to another.

1  Journey...Don't Stop Believin'... need I say more?
2  Styx
3  REO Speedwagon
4  The Eagles
5  Aerosmith
6  Van Halen
7 Def Leppard
8 38 Special
9 Boston
10 Poison

Has anybody on here seen Journey when Steve Perry was lead? Arnel Pineda does an excellent job...but I would have loved to see the band when Steve was singin'.

You're probably already aware of this. But just in case, Mountain View, Arkansas  might be worth looking into if it isn't too far of a drive for ya. Although rock music is more my scene, my mother loves bluegrass/folk music and goes here like twice a month and seems to think the prices are great.

The Mountain View Festival is always a big deal here in Arkansas. I have been several times, and it is truly a great way to enjoy a peaceful afternoon listening to live bluegrass music being performed.

Turkey Track near Waldron is a good festival (disclaimer: it's over 25 years since I was last there).
