These are fiddles that spell "Love" in four glass shadow boxes beside a music store called Barr's Fiddle Shop which has been in Galax for 40 years. Fiddles are one of the main instruments that mountain music is based on. When this music first started it was called hillbilly music which then later was called blue grass. When I saw this driving down Main Street, I knew that I wanted to take a picture of it because of the musical aspect and the history behind it. Because I have had a lot of experience of the Appalachian mountains, bluegrass is something that "characterizes a mountaineer", especially the older generation. This picture represents the love that mountain people have for this musical entertainment. This is shown through the annual Old Fiddlers Convention which occurs an entire week in August for the past 82 years. This event gathers thousands of people from all over the world who all share the love of Bluegrass. #appalachianechoes](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181427/99b50962-ff27-424b-b7f1-c5d4beef4cde.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![The Blue Ridge Parkway connects Great Smoky Mountain National Park to Shenandoah National Park. It's 400+ miles offers one of the best ways to view the smokies and will give you stunning landscapes such as this one. The drive changes dramatically from one area to the next, so you can see all different kinds of mountain range. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/181427/37963d24-839a-464f-8d3f-9bf9e5019ac0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ## Visit Galax Things to do - Top hotels in Galax - Top Holiday Rentals in Galax ![Hampton Inn Galax](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/3000000/2450000/2445500/2445451/792c73fa_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Hampton Inn Galax 205 Cranberry Road Galax VA £99 26 Apr - 27 Apr includes taxes & fees Stay at this hotel in Galax.
