The storm clouds that loomed over threateningly did not faze locals, many self-proclaimed “pineys,” who came out to tap their toes to Saturday night bluegrass in the back lot of Waretown’s Albert Music Hall. Umbrellas, lawn chairs and flannel blankets littered the lot, all highlighted by smiling faces.

Just $5 granted access to five different bands and, for a nominal fee, many enjoyed light refreshments such as snacks and coffee. Listeners were yodeling in unison in no time at all.
