[rockabyesarojane]

One of my favorite places to be on planet Earth! That porch has seen some of the most talented people in the world and yet only a lucky few even knows about it. I am grateful that I am one of the lucky few that's been there. This video shows how life is supposed to be, simple & fun.

The second girl in the pink was the best I thought. Looked like real Appalachian style.

[CadillacL]

The girl in the pink is gereat isn' she? Real smoothe danceer. After her, the 2 that daned from 1:37-2:32 are great too.

I am planning a trip out to West Virginia next year for the Clifftop Festival. Would love to come to Elkins sometime. When will this be going on again?

[wlkerns]

This is part of Oldtime Week at the Augusta Heritage Center. It comes during the first full week in August. It is not a spectator program but one for students of any age. They offer courses in banjo, mandolin, guitar, fiddle and dulcimer-- at different levels. Flatfoot dancing is very popular. There are other theme weeks at Augusta, such as Cajun, Swing, Blues, Guitar, Vocal,Irish, Bluegrass and Folk Arts. Do a GOOGLE search for Augusta Heritage Center for details on each week.

[About2Rain]

Sounds like just what the Doctor ordered. No spectating for me. I'm a participator! I hope to see ya'all soon! Thank you for the info my friend.

[wlkerns]

Looking forward to seeing you at Augusta on 2-9, 2009. FUN, FUN. Do a UTube search of "Jam at 2008 old time week at Augusta" for another HOT video of porch music. I saw it but didn't have video with me.

[rupertsteel]

This is just GREAT! 5 STARS!!

[ottlakerambler]

I witnessed the Dance Party last year at Augusta (Davis & Elkins College, WV). Rhiannon Giddens (of The Carolina Chocolate Drops) won... and the other dancers were as good as the ones you see above! Fun stuff. Thanks again, Wilmer (and thanks to About2Rain for sharing).

[wlkerns]

Yeah, Rhiannon won that flatfoot contest dancing BAREFOOTED. Could hardly believe my eyes. Also, I played banjo in her class that performed earlier at the same pavillion. Remember us as the "belly-dancing banjo players?" She is a very talented artist-- dancer, singer, instrumentalist.

[ottlakerambler]

That's right! That's right!

And, by the way, your channel picture is of you and... Rhiannon. Lucky you!

[homer4dee]

Such a grand time! Fabulous music and flatfootin'.... Thank you About2Rain for sharing this!

[About2Rain]

Are you coming to the wonderful old time festival at Lake Genero? It's on Labor Day weekend. There are alot of folks that come from the West Virginia area to this one. I will be going up on Friday and staying until Monday. Let me know if you guys will be going this year. Hope to see you soon.

Let the Music Play ...

[About2Rain]

The message about Lake Genero was a reply to Homer4Dee. Sorry Wilmer....Hope I didn't confuse you.
