One hundred years ago, musicians in downtown Louisville traveled from corner to corner playing songs on nontraditional instruments like whisky jugs (“the poor man’s tuba”) and washboards, accompanied by banjos, fiddles and guitars. The sound became known as jug music. On Saturday, September 18, the 6th Annual National Jug Band Jubilee is bringing the music back to its birthplac...
A few years ago, I had my astrological chart cast by a Vedic astrologer in an attempt to come up with a cosmic road map.
