This Virginia Maritime Museum Lets Families Explore A Battleship And Discover Life At Sea
Battleships are not small. Standing on the deck of one gives you a sense of scale that photographs cannot capture. This Virginia maritime museum lets families explore a real battleship, walking the decks, climbing ladders, and getting a glimpse of what life at sea was actually like. The ship is the centerpiece, but the museum also includes exhibits on naval history, maritime technology, and the people who served.

Traditional Bluegrass Duos on Pickin
I had so much enjoyment putting together the duos show for The Best of Pickin on Friday night, that I decided to expand the idea onto the Sunday evening traditional Bluegrass Pickin program. Tune in to hear many of the founding stars of the genre like Flatt and Scruggs, Reno and Smiley, The Louvin Brothers, Jim and Jesse, and plenty of others including second generation stars like Tony Rice and Peter Rowan, Bill Emerson and Cliff Waldron, and The Osborne Brothers. Rice and Rowan appeared together at a concert in Chesapeake City Park when touring behind their 2007 release "Quartet." It was the second collaboration between the artists and featured Bryn Davies on bass and Sharol Gilchrist on mandolin. They covered several Rowan tunes on the album including " Dust Bowl Children" and also traditional tunes like "Shady Grove." We'll also have tracks from Dave Davis and The Warrior River Boys, Del McCoury, Bill Monroe, and plenty of others. Two hours of traditional Bluegrass on Pickin. Sunday night at 7 on WHRV.
