My bluegrass roots largely spring from a party I attend in rural Pennsylvania every summer.  Between 50 and 100 of us camp out on our friend’s land, share potluck food, and play acoustic music for the entire weekend.  The party is hosted by some great lifelong friends of mine who have dozens of amazing country, bluegrass and/or blues playing friends.  I’ve learned alot from them all over the years. 

One of them is a song-writer named Ken Harnage, who writes great old-timey country and blues songs with a distinct humor element.  One of his best-loved numbers that we hear at the party, ”YOUR TRAILER OR MINE?”, was recorded in 2003 by a D.C.-area band called Honkytonk Confidential, and garnered them two awards for best song and best album of the year at that year’s WAMMIES (Washington-area-musicians…).
