[from Austin TX] they were providing
the musical entertainment for a special exhibit at the Museum of Natural and
Artificial Ephemerata, an adorable example of Austin quirk – the exhibit was
cave-themed and so they played old mining songs – I have become a fat sucker
for Appalachian style music and this was a close approximation – I was in love
forever when they explained to me that there’s a difference between bluegrass
music (finger picking) and “old-time” music (hand strums more like a claw) –
apparently what I like is the latter – the band consisted of three hobbyist
musicians: a fiddle, banjo and guitar – I’m not sure that they play too often (Photo courtesy of
