Subject: RE: Tell us about your town...and the music.
Readington Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. People who pass through NJ on the turnpike only see a small and mostly unpleasane state. Most of NJ is really nice, including where I am. Farms and rolling hills and woods. My property is bordered by farms, one of which has a sizeable buffalo herd. They're really beautiful to look at from a distance. Up close, they have the stupidest expression of any animal. Music-wise, there isn't much. A local listener-supported radio station started a Saturday night live country show, all local performers mostly playing early C&W and bluegrass. I may be the only Old-time country musician to have played there. Definately the only clawhammer banjoist. Most of the old-time musicians in the area live across the Delaware River in Bucks County, PA, and there are plenty of musical gatherings going on.
