What’s it like to be a bluegrass festival bum, roaming the country to soak in your favorite music?

I got a taste of that the first two weekends in November, catching Florida’s Withlacoochee Bluegrass Jamboree, near Dunellon, Fla., and then the following weekend, for a real change in landscape (and temperature), the Greater Downstate Indoor Bluegrass Festival, held inside (thankfully) at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Springfield, Ill.
