The month of May holds some excitement for the Blind Pig & the Acorn and it’s readers. First up-the 2nd Annual Blind Pig & the Acorn Planting by the Signs Test gets started on the 17th.

Second-I’ll be hosting a Spotlight on music and it’s relationship to Appalachia. The music features will be sprinkled in with the usual posts over the coming weeks. A few highlights of the Spotlight:

• Interviews-David Grier, Kathy Chiavola, and Bob Dalsemer to name a few
• CD giveaways
• Guest posts by notable writers from the music world as well as a few who write about Appalachia
• Go along with me as I visit local jam sessions
• Giveaway Sponsored by The Old-Time Herald-a year’s subscription to their wonderful magazine
• Vintage Classical Ibanez Guitar Giveaway-sponsored by Paul Wilson
• Spotlight Sponsored by World Wide Bluegrass

Hope you stick around for the sign test-and for the Spotlight on Music in Appalachia-both should be a lot of fun-and who knows you might just win a guitar.
