Music out in the open

Last Thursday we once again took in a free concert thanks to Fairfax County. This time it was to see the Steep Canyon Rangers, a fantastic Bluegrass band out of North Carolina. They are currently touring with Steve Martin (yes that Steve Martin who happens to be quite the accomplished banjo player) so it was great to see the Rangers for free.

These guys wore suits! So professional. And the way they moved on stage between microphones was like watching a well rehersed ballet.
It was also an opporunity to see a former co-worker and friend of mine who actually introduced me to the Steep Canyon Rangers and several other Bluegrass bands. JT brought along his girlfriend Nicole. It was fun to hear updates about my former company.


The boys stayed around for only about one or two songs before heading off to the playground. Frying Pan Park is an active farm, so after the show we wandered around and saw all the cows, pigs, sheep, and chickens they keep.

Lulu really liked meeting the sheep
