The Bluegrass Barbershop

At The Atlantic:



Pickin' & Trimmin'  features a classic barber shop in Drexel, North Carolina, and the men who have been meeting there to play bluegrass music, tell stories, and get an occasional haircut, for decades. Matt Morris, the director of the documentary, talks about the making of the film and what has happened at the shop more recently in a brief interview below. Don't miss Morris's new documentary, Mr. Happy Man, about 88-year-old Johnny Barnes and his commitment to spending hours every morning wishing Bermuda's commuters well.
They are damn good.  Bluegrass, Bourbon and southern food are three good things from the South.  Too bad I can't think of too many more.
