点评:As we live two hours ago, this was only our second visit to the Kalamazoo Valley Museum. Our first was 5 years ago when we stopped on a roadtrip to see their fabulous Frank Lloyd Wright exhibit. Our second, earlier this month, was to attend the Kalamazoo Fretboard Festival, an annual free family-friendly music event. And it did not disappoint! From 10am-6pm, there are live music shows featuring all types of string-based music: Americana, Tex-Mex, Guitar & Mandolin, Country, Django Reinhardt jazz, and more. There were pop-up music shows throughout the day. An all-day jam session. Workshops to learn more about specific string topics. And vendors selling guitars and other instruments and related items. Totally fun day!! In a museum setting. We didn't get to see much on this visit, but what we saw of the museum on our two stops was fabulous. Kudos to the KVM director and staff!!
翻译:由于我们生活在两个小时前,这只是我们第二次参观卡拉马祖谷博物馆。我们的第一次是在 5 年前,当时我们在一次公路旅行中停下来观看他们精彩的弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特 (Frank Lloyd Wright) 展览。本月早些时候,我们的第二次活动是参加卡拉马祖指板音乐节,这是一项一年一度的免费家庭友好音乐活动。它并没有让人失望!上午 10 点至下午 6 点,现场音乐表演涵盖各种类型的弦乐:美国音乐、德克萨斯墨西哥音乐、吉他和曼陀林、乡村音乐、Django Reinhardt 爵士乐等。全天都有弹出式音乐表演。全天即兴演奏会。研讨会以了解有关特定字符串主题的更多信息。还有销售吉他和其他乐器及相关物品的供应商。非常有趣的一天!在博物馆环境中。这次访问我们没有看到太多东西,但是我们在两站看到的博物馆非常棒。向 KVM 总监和工作人员致敬!
