Monday Valentine: To the Best, and the Lady with the Camera who Shot 'Em

My pal Stephanie Ledgin has had a phenomenal career that has brought her up close and personal with all of Bluegrass music's leaders and legends.





Author of two books on bluegrass and hoping to give birth to a third in about nine months, she is bluegrass living history on legs. And she does a bang up job of passing on what she knows to the rest of us with her easy style and welcoming spirit.

And now, she's made her YouTube debut! Click on this link to see some great images inside From Every Stage and to hear a good tune while you're at it (Black Mountain Rag or Black Mountain Blues). The book features some great stories about the people and the pictures themselves. If you love this music, you'll have to have this beautiful book. (Makes a great Valentine's Day gift for the music lover love of your life!)
