So yesterday when I was driving home and listening to NPR the show "All Things Considered" came on. What a surprise to listen as they did a feature on Ozark bluegrass music and the town of Mountain View, AR. They even interviewed my husband's uncle, the patriarch of our family. For our recent TN wedding celebration Glen played his bag pipes for us. Preserving family heritage and culture is very important to him. He traveled all the way to Scotland, found the original Morrison tartan, had a kilt made with the tartan, bought a set of bag pipes and learned how to play them. This is all in addition to his pickin' and fiddlin' in Arkansas. Where he still lives on the original property that the Morrisons homesteaded generations ago.
You can listen to the broadcast and see pictures here. We were in Mountain View last October for the 25th Annual Bluegrass and Bean Festival. It was also the first time I met that side of Casey's family, we were still only engaged. Good times and good memories.
