America’s Longest Running Bluegrass Festival Returns to Indiana
The 59th Annual Bill Monroe's Bean Blossom Bluegrass Festival kicks off today with bands on stage through Saturday. My family is full of bluegrass pickers, so I grew up listening to many of them play tunes by Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, Norman Blake, Tony Rice, Larry Sparks, and several others. I still go back and listen to songs like "Church Street Blues," "Sitting on top of the World," and "John Deere Tractor," when on a long road trip or after a hard day. Those notes filled a good part of my childhood and even sparked my interest in country music as a whole.

Indiana & Kentucky Parents – You Might Be Eligible for $120/Child this Summer
The idea of kids going hungry at school isn't exactly a new concept. I can still recall my dad sharing stories about his own school days, when he sometimes had to rely on the "free" meal provided by the school, which, oddly enough, always seemed to be clam chowder. He grew up in Arizona, so not exactly clam chowder territory. Being the middle child of four, raised by a single mom, there were definitely days when food was tight. Needless to say, he developed quite an aversion to clam chowder.
