There is a little place past Moncks Corner called Bethera... and in Bethera is the "Picking Parlor"... After all my years of playing Bluegrass, I finally got the time to go.

This is Mr. Finley's group on stage.

After Dad sharpened the teeth, the blade heated back up and cupped causing it to cut into the carriage and dull the teeth even more. Soo... here we are about to change the teeth...
