cravenmoorrrrrrrrr He's probably just concentrating and enjoying fiddlin. He did laugh at the end like was havin a good ole time. That was some mighty fine sawin on that fiddle! = ]
Whereabouts is he from? And, is your jam strictly oldtime? I ask because bluegrass has become so pervasive that it crowds out old time jams, or the oldtime players end up having to accomodate the bluegrassers in order to keep-a-goin.
Elmer is from the Morgantown area. He wasn't out and about in the music scene all that much until around 2000, but I'll bet you play a tune that comes from his uncle, Sanford Rich.
I'd say the jam is old time; certainly not bluegrass style, but probably not what you'd usually hear at Augusta or Clifftop. Like most of the older musicians, Elmer plays a whole range of things including old tunes from his family, but also lots of stuff that was on the radio and records when he was a kid.
Where's the dancers?

I think it's because he takes so much pleasure from it.
We played this evening and Elmer just seems to get better. I know he really does sit around the house practicing and working things up.

It's amazing what is being preserved in such an unlikely way. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
