So, I am already here.... Muggy as hell. But for Friday night supper I have Brunswick stew (cooked in cast iron wash tubs and stirred with oars, of course). Egg custard pie, lemon chess pie, pecan pie and German chocolate pie. And cornbread. Ice tea and cheerwine to drink. Y'all come.

The food sounds like it will be as good as the music!

Jacalyn - I have a some cornbread with prosciutto, sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese muffins... just the way Sweeney liked them!

But of course! It's that European aesthetic combined with authentic Americana that gives birth to all things luscious.

Have fun! I was going through some old Fretted Instrument News and read that the American Banjo Fraternity funded the Joel Sweeney gravestone in 1954. Just a bit of fun trivia.
