Sidetracked on the Blue Ridge Parkway - by Music

Okay - so, we left Mayberry, North Carolina

and headed for the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Welllllll,

there were these signs about the Mountain Music Museum or Blue Ridge Music Museum...

something - so again, spontaneously, which is so UNLIKE Charlie and me

to do this - but we did.

we took the right turn and had no idea what we'd find.

A very unassuming, well-planned metal building, yet nice - with plenty of parking for regular cars as well as RV's - so we assumed they expected all of these types.

We went in.  Very touristy - and looked for the "live music" which was on the signs.

My one picture of the trees.

but here is the live music.

I wish you could hear it.

LOVED IT!!!!

Once I learned the lyrics, well, we were invited to sing along...

and I did!

Have you heard this song?

Lyrics:

(sung with 2 beats to the measure)

If you ain't a worried man

You can't sing a worried song

(repeat 3 times)

I'm worried now

but I won't be worried long.

Next song.

Most of us churched people have heard it.....

Will the Circle Be Unbroken

By and By Lord, By and By

Those men did an incredible job of singing and playing those 2 songs.  Priceless!!!!

After those 2 songs, we had to leave, reluctantly - but we moved on.

Below is the highest point of the Blue Ridge Parkway and after that we turned around and drove  back to Winston Salem
