Finger pickin’ good. Arlene McCown, of Port Orchard, practices on her dobro outside her motorhome early Monday in a wooded campsite at the Darrington Bluegrass Festival. McCown started playing later in life than most, yet has picked it up quickly and is downright good, according to others who have been playing alongside her. The festival, which runs through Sunday, is one of a number of events the logging town near Whitehorse Mountain hosts.
