The International Bluegrass Music Awards have moved as of last year from Nashville -- where they felt in
shadow and like a sideshow -- to Raleigh, N.C., where they have staked a claim for the next five years,
I think it is. It's a great event with business and professional sessions. Not being a musician, I just attended
the two large public concerts wrapping up the event, and took along one of Old Dominion's small cobs for
an intermission smoke outside the venue. People paid little attention. No hassle. A few curious glances.
One packing of Carter Hall, and one light using the amphitheater fence as a windbreak did it, and the smoke
lasted at least fifteen or twenty minutes, longer than I expected with the small pipe.
