The Bluegrass Bus Museum
Welcome to the archive of The Bluegrass Bus Museum www.bluegrassbus.com The videos found on this channel were recorded by Don Clark throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Don Clark, owner of The Bluegrass Bus Museum, started filming bluegrass festivals in the early 1980s. He spent a lot of time in the front rows of festivals from California to Bean Blossom, IN, and everywhere in-between. Don recorded with an early VHS shoulder mounted camera and often relied on the help of a very tall tripod. The video vault (archive) of The Bluegrass Bus Museum consists of hundreds of live VHS tapes. Don, along with his son Danny Clark, have been transferring the VHS tapes to DVD and then uploading the live performances to YouTube. This collection will eventually contain thousands of never-before-seen videos. Enjoy some of the samples below and check back frequently as this project will most likely take years to finish.
