Schöpferische Zerstörung: Creative destruction. Out with the old, in with the new and improved. We usually put a prettier picture at the top of Wanderings each week, but today we're giving you a recent photo of the day the old stage at the Waterloo Village concert field - a stage that hosted many big-name acts over the years, but none for a long, long time - was razed. This weekend, a new stage will be in its place as live music returns to the Waterloo field in Allamuchy, Warren County, with the two-day Bourbon Street Blues Fest. This is just the start of something big! But if you're not feeling the blues, there's plenty more in store in this week's edition, so read on, and Happy Wanderings!

Billy Strings was practically born into bluegrass: his mother’s water broke while she was attending a birthday party packed with musicians and baby Billy was born with the echo of guitars and banjos in his ears. Blessed with the voice of an old soul from the mountains, a gentlemanly air, and the ability to sling hundreds of notes with razor-crisp precision at the speed of a machine gun, Strings’ flat-picking talent seems almost beyond comprehension to veterans of the local bluegrass scene, especially given his youth.
