Another video treasury

Anyone who loves traditional bluegrass can get a couple of dozen real treats by visiting the website of the Misty Valley Boys from Eden, North Carolina, and working through their archive of half-hour 'Big Bluegrass Shows' from the WGSR Star 39 TV channel.

The Misty Valley Boys provide 'bluegrass Piedmont style', and they have every qualification for it. The band featured in the shows includes Lynwood Lunsford (banjo), formerly with Jimmy Martin & the Sunny Mountain Boys, the James King Band, and others; David Nance (dobro), also a former Sunny Mountain Boy; Adam Poindexter (guitar, lead vocals), formerly banjo-player for James King; Steve Block (bass), veteran of many groups; and Travers Chandler (mandolin). Guests include Fiddlin' Tim Smith, a former Bluegrass Cardinal.

Lynwood Lunsford recently left the MVB, so make use of this cornucopia while it's still there.
