Dance Party Galax Fiddlers' Convention 2010

Here's some good honest dancing in the Saturday night dance off at Galax, hosted by Nick and Kelley. Music by the first place old time band, the Whoop n' Holler Stringband (Jake Krack on fiddle, Tim Bing on banjo, Mike Bing on mandolin, and some others...). Check out Sarah Spencer, Jerry Lee, the infamous group effort known as "number 6," Tory (from Boone, NC), Julie Chiles, Michelle Belanger, Brett Morris, Nina Pinto, and Julie Shepherd-Powell. My only regret is that the camera ran out of juice before I could get Nick McMillan's star performance at the very end...

I miss the playing, the dancing, the singing, the freedom of mountain music.
