Bluegrass Breakdown: Wasted Time And Tears

It’s a word that means to use or expend carelessly, extravagantly or to no purpose. Based on the plethora of tunes on the subject, it also appears to be one of BluegrassLand’s favorite pastimes. Thanks to the Lonesome River Band, Gary Ferguson, the Bluegrass Brothers, the Boys From Indiana and Darin & Brooke Aldridge, we’ll be up to our necks in wasted time and wasted tears.
