A visit to the South was always high on the list of places we needed to get to in our trip around the USA. The history is interesting, the people are said to be different but most of all the music that comes out of this part of the world is very much to our taste. We wanted very much to get to see and hear some Appalachian mountain music. A bit of bluegrass would be acceptable if we could find so... Read Full Entry

Our travels over the years have often sought out those places that we haven't yet experienced. We have loved chasing new places, but there is a change underway. We continue to enjoy experiencing other cultures along with their food, beverages, history and ways of life but now, having a little more freedom, we will also make more effort to seek out out such things as music events and festivals, particular natural attractions that we have missed and places where we can better appreciate the history of a place and its people.

Texas is like a whole other country.
I hope you work Texas into your trip, and especially San Antonio. There is more to do and see in San Antonio than you can possibly do. If you make it to the Riverwalk I highly reccomend the Original Mexican Restaurant which is open 24/7. This is the best time of year by far to visit Texas.

We definitely plan to visit Texas, but just not sure yet how to balance that big state with the limited time we have left. Thanks William for the tips (we both love Mexican food).

I\'ve got my grandmother\'s dulcimer resting safely and awaiting restoration... At the risk of being unhelpful (apologies David), I reckon it would be quite a shame if you didn\'t acquire a dobro (though I myself would go for a duolian resonator). I\'ve been looking into them thanks to AUD doing so well... but I thnk our guitar to floor area ratio is probably high enough for the moment...

Hi Pete. David is very keen to get a resonator guitar (BTW saw a resonator dulcimer the other day) and I wouldn\'t mind one either, but we do have to think about luggage on the plane. That said, though, we could end creating a family heirloom if we spot something nice. Not sure he really appreciates how much time I would need to spend on stringed instruments each day.
