I rambled again last night at the International Bluegrass Music Association’s World of Bluegrass 2013. Here’s the best of what I saw.
Peter Rowan, “Blue Moon of Kentucky”
After playing one of the most recognizable songs in bluegrass, Peter Rowan told stories of his former boss, Bill Monroe, and led his own group through a fast set that spanned his catalog. The most poignant moment came in the encore, when Rowan played “Doc Watson Morning” solo acoustic. The large Lincoln Theatre was pin-drop quiet, though an eruption of applause immediately followed.
