Bluegrass and Halloween
Time to get a check on the annual BOOGRASS happenings just before Halloween.
A quick search of the Internet doesn’t show much new this year.
However one interesting video came to our attention early this morning. We thought it creative enough to share.
Because “Out-of-Tune” can be a problem with any genre, the video’s music is not bluegrass and will obviously catch the attention of a wide spectrum of music lovers and performers.
You can watch the video here or in larger format on the You-Tube host site HERE.
