The REAL Coon Hound Daddy
|
When I first met Coon Hound Daddy back in 1973, I thought the banjo he played was so interesting. I had not run across banjos much as a child of two New England born and raised parents, and so I was intrigued, by both Coon Hound Daddy and his banjo.
As fate would have it, Coon Daddy proposed, I accepted and 42 years later I'm still listening to that banjo, less intrigued, but I'm making the best of it with my camera. He has added a few more instruments along the way so at least a variety....
Yesterday we took a drive to Armuchee, Georgia to a Bluegrass Festival that has been around for 20 some years. I did what I could with the camera to tell the story. I hope you enjoy the photos!
