Yesterday was Sara Carter's birthday (of the legendary Carter Family) and tomorrow is Alison Krauss's 43rd birthday, so you know we'll hear sets from them, as well as new music from Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, a set of "Ohio" music (seem to be a lot of songs featuring Ohio...) music from folks performing in the area...
