You all are probably pretty familiar with Angeline the Baker by now, so here's a reprise

Ladakh: Backwoods and Bluegrass X 2

The second week was a reprise of amazing musical opportunities. Inspired by incredible vistas and made slightly delirious by whooping cough combined with high altitude, we really relished in the opportunity to hike for a few hours in the morning, and then play music together all afternoon. Days I will certainly not forget.

Ladakh: Bluegrass in the backwoods

One of the greatest parts about being up in Ladakh was the extended chance to play music with Jon.

I had been planning for this for quite a while, and constructed perhaps the world's only dual fiddle/banjo backpack.

Here's me and Dad hiking down the road, carrying "big yellow" and it's precious cargo

After all the work constructing the bag, it was with great pleasure that we got a chance to introduce our Ladakhi hosts to some good old American bluegrass music.

What incredible experiences these were, both sharing the traditional music from our country with the people of Ladkh, and the chance to play in such beautiful surroundings.
