There’s no place I’d rather be on a Friday night than the Floyd Country Store in the “People’s Republic of Floyd, VA.” And you don’t even have to go inside. You can hear first-rate musicians like Mike Mitchell (and lots of others) jamming here and there up and down the block. Won’t cost ya a thin dime.
I promised Mike I’d tell all my friends about his excellent CD, Thirteen Hours. I’m a man of my word. Buy it now at County Sales and enjoy!

While you’re shopping at CountySales.com (or at their headquarters in Floyd), a goldmine for bluegrass connoisseurs, you might pick up their Before Bluegrass CD.
There are very few street corners in the world where you can hear this much talent all at the same time. You don’t have to take it from me. The Smithsonian magazine thinks so, too. Check out their feature on Floyd.
