Probably more dangerous than my day job but out here in Oregon we go out with no regrets!
Wouldn't trade you for my weekend. A 6 hour trip each way for the Indiana Fiddlers Gathering. Up til 2 am in a jam session (only midnight the other night), and talking to legends in the small world of old-time fiddle music. If the names Chirps, Dan Gellert, and Banjo Billy among others mean anything to you, you missed a good time.
I'm familiar with banjo billy and Dan gellert, that must have been awesome!!

Ever listen to Billy Strings? This is one of my favorites by him.

Good stuff - gives me hope for country music. That would not have been out of line at the festival, although most of it was about propagating older traditions. ?ÿ Most of the recent Nashville product I don't like.
Three of the guys in this recording were at the festival.?ÿ Chirps Smith is the 2nd from your right, and is the main fiddler, although most of them are multi-instrumentalists.
My brother took banjo lessons from Steve Rosen, the white-haired guy playing banjo here.
Bill, you have to understand his fascination with trains.?ÿ From his childhood home on Rocky Top Farm, if he went this away to the nearest town he had to cross the east-west tracks and if he went that away to the next nearest town and school he had to cross both the north-south tracks and the east-west tracks.?ÿ All less than five miles away.

I've lived in Oregon most my life and have been to the dunes a few times, but it never looked like that. Even with gas prices high, it is good to see Oregonians (and others I am sure) are still having fun!!!!
