This weekend the Carroll County Ramblers played two different shows in Tennessee. Their first stop was Jonesborough, the oldest town in TN. Brady and Ashton went along with the band.
The crowd gathers in front of the court house for that night's show.
That night the Carroll County Ramblers entertain the crowd.
Brady snaps a picture of Ashton and Aunt Bonnie in the hotel room. Ashton tells me she didn't sleep so well with Nan Nan screaming out several times through the night. They were laughing about it the next day! Brady slept in the other room with Dale and Frank. He didn't get much rest either because of Frank's constant snoring! Unlike Ashton, he wasn't laughing about it the next day!
Day two took them to the Carter Fold in Bristol, TN, home of the Carter Family, (the in-laws of Johnny Cash). Here the band plays while the audience clogs to the toe-tapping Bluegrass music.
I have to admit, I was jealous! I wanted to be there too. Sounded to me like they were having a blast -- a little sightseeing, free hotel rooms, meals out at restaurants and the best Bluegrass music ever! I used to travel everywhere with Dale and the band. My favorite trips were the ones to Oklahoma. Of course, all of that was BC, (before children). Dale says we'll have to work it out that I can go next year. I'll believe it when I see it!

Fun, I didn't ever travel much with the band, but did enjoy going when I could! I miss seeing them play!
Awwww, how fun for all of them. I hope you get to be a traveller with them again, soon!
I would really like to go once when they play...will you let me know a time when they are close by?
I can't wait for Josh to go since he is one of Dale's groupies!
