High Lonesome: The Story of Bluegrass Music

Music Mondays

This week, I’m recommending a highly entertaining and informational DVD about bluegrass music entitled High Lonesome – The Story of Bluegrass Music. I have an old VHS edition of this video which my friends and I watched many times. The video is chock-full of great music and stories.
