Along About Sundown
When an aspiring musician Ethan happens into Bascom Lamar Lunsford, the "Minstrel of Appalachia,” he embarks on a musical and historical journey. Along about sundown, several musicians meet up on Lunsford's porch for story telling, and, more importantly, a chance to make music together. Lunsford's life and songs inspire musicians and appreciators of Appalachian music everywhere. This original musical, written by two of Lunsford's own grandnieces, is a charming work sure to leave audiences smiling and humming.
Family Bluegrass Dance Debut
This was taped as part of a documentary on Mountain Musicians and is considered by some to be the best Square Dance ever filmed. It is a spontaneous dance in Lunsford’s home and is the inspiration for our play, Along About Sundown. Bascom often invited friends and family into his home for a rafter raising evening of music and dance. When people asked what time they should arrive-his answer was always…”Along about sundown.”
