Kentucky's Bluegrass, Blues & BBQ Region The musical styles of bluegrass and blues merge here, as the region was the birthplace of the Father of Bluegrass, Bill Monroe (Rosine) and home for a while to the Father of the Blues, W.C. Handy (Henderson.)
And should you wonder about the third part of the region's equation - barbecue - you need look no further than the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn, an Owensboro landmark.

"Henderson has great BBQ, great music, the .W.C. Handy Blues Festival, A Taste of Henderson ... something for everyone. James J. Audubon State Park has great nature trails with RV / camper parking available. Fridays in July are full of music along the riverfront. Mostly, it's the food ... great BBQ." Submitted by Nancy
