The Guitar Workshop

Luke Gitchel and Jim Hurst chatting with each other and a bunch of other guitarists during yesterday's workshop at the Charlotte Bluegrass Festival, This morning will feature similar workshops featuring banjo and mandolin.

Luke's band, the Journeymen, will kick off today's festival session at noon and the music will continue far into the evening with five bands doing two sets apiece, including Little Roy & Lizzy and Volume Five. Festival seating's under the pavilion at the Eaton County Fairgrounds in Charlotte, so we can (mostly) hide from the weather.
