Vegetables and cheese aren't the only things you can slice with stringèd strummin' instruments. Coffee cake, too. I attended my Uncle By (aka Scotty)'s 90th birthday shindig Sunday, and the band had a banjo and a mandolin (which took care of the cheese and veggies) but also two guitars and a double bass fiddle, which was good because there was an offal lot of cake to slice.

The band was Queens Bluegrass, out of eastern Skagit County. Purty good. Wish I had more relatives who hired bands.
