Bluegrass Breakdown: Weekdays, Part Two – Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays

They’re the middle three days of the work week that are often given short shrift given the notoriety of the days that bookend them. Thanks to John Cowan, Greensky Bluegrass, Larry Cordle and Claire Lynch, we’ll be remedying this sorry state of affairs by giving Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays the rapt attention they deserve.
