Concert
July 7, Marymoor Park, Redmond, WA
The extra-neat thing about seeing Alison Krauss and Union Station was getting to see the man-behind-George-Clooney's-face sing "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow" without George Clooney's face. He's the one on the far left of the picture. They didn't allow cameras into the park, or I would have tried for a picture of the outdoor concert.

I know, I know! [raises hand waiting to be called on] It's Dan Tyminski. That would be a neat concert to go to. I don't like country music, or most bluegrass, but I like this.
Fun!!!! Alison Krauss is actually not my favorite blue grass artist (the last name makes me think of polish dogs. . .), but that would be totally fun to see.
Right, Dan Tyminski. Good job, you get an A!
He always tells this story (I've seen Union Station twice now) about how he told his wife he got the part in the movie. "It'll be my voice with George Clooney's face!" And she said, "Dear, didn't you know? that's, like, my fantasy!" The audience laughed.
I don't know a lot of bluegrass beyond AKUS, at least not contemporary. I grew up with oldies like Emmylou Harris, Hank Williams, who's more just plain country, and others I can't remember.
You should check out my Pandora station 'A little bit of alot,' it has a lot of old timey (and international) music on it). I believe I have a link to it on my blog.
