Recently, seven or eight of us got together and made music for a couple of hours.We had a great time playing hymns and bluegrass music. We have set a date for a second pickin on the Pickens Square in Carrollton. 7pm. It will be this Saturday, Sept. 22. The Courthouse Square. Bring your instrument. Bring a lawn chair. If more than 15 or 20 show up, we will form a second group. Several of the pickers had enjoyed similar events in places like Mountainview, Arkansas. It just seems appropriate for us to do something like this in Pickens. Should the weather not be good, we can move the music back into the PBA building. So, if you like to pick, blow a harp, or sing along, plan to participate.

UPDATE:
About 20 persons attended the Sept. pickin in Pickens. We have another scheduled for October 13 at 7pm. We will play on the grounds of the Pickens Baptist Association which is just a couple of blocks up State Route 17 from the square. Restrooms will be available. We will play out under the trees, weather permitting. We would really like to have a banjo player join in with us on the 13th.
