Carthage and Bluegrass

This sign says it all:


Another Wednesday evening concert in the little village of Carthage.  This particular concert had me tapping my foot, clapping my hands, and bobbing my head for two hours.  It's hard to take pictures when you're doing that.  But I did okay.


Meet the Atkinson family bluegrass band.  And Nate--he's the mandolin player on the left.  He also plays fiddle, really well.  Here he is, below.  Too bad you can't hear how he played; it was awesome.


Below is the patriarch of the family, and the banjo player.  He played great.  In fact, the whole band played great.



Many who came to the steel drum concert the week before returned for this concert.  That gave me some opportunities to take some candid shots of the audience.


The bass player (below) married into the family; she played and sang beautifully.


The ladies sing a cappella

Pink must have been the clothing theme of the night; I spotted several girls wearing that color, and couldn't resist taking their pictures.


Love the below!  Talk about candid!







I saved two little pink-clad girls for last, because they were just so incredibly cute.  I couldn't decide which images to choose, so you get them all.  Enjoy the little-girly-girl show!





Okay, I think I just adore this last shot--their expressions, the twirling legs, the flying hair.  Just cute, cute, cute.  :)




Treasuring life's moments,
Christine
