Bluegrass Breakdown: Travelers, Part Two

It’s one who goes on a trip or journey … one who travels. All who wander may not be lost, but they’re still wandering just the same. Thanks to the Bankester Family, Gary Ferguson and John McEuen, we’ll be continuing our deep dive into wild world of bluegrassical travelers with a look at the Dixie Traveler, the Long Time Traveler, the Wayworn Traveler and the Arkansas, Tennessee, Louisiana and Texas Travelers.
