Mountain Sounds

I have always loved the sounds of bluegrass music, mountain music and gospel. I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, and bluegrass was very much alive and well there. The sounds of bluegrass and gospel, still echo in my memories as a boy growing up there in the mountains. So, as the years have passed, I have only grown to love them more. I have placed several links here on my blog for bluegrass, mountain and gospel music...try a couple, you may be the next mountain music fan. Hey, even if you should find you don't like the sound, at least, you gave a listen.

I am listing below the winners of the "International Bluegrass Music Association" Awards for 2008. I am sure you will see it was a big night for Dailey and Vincent, a group that has just recently emerged on the scene. I encourage you to visit the websites of these winners, and sit a spell, as you listen to some "Mountain Sounds".

God Bless, until the next time.
