Spring Folk Festival, Mt. View, AR

Well I did. I went to the Folk Festival in Mt. View. We got there pretty early and wondered around for a while. After lunch I sat on the fringe of a more bluegrassy jam where I had spied a friend from the office. It was good, but its not my preferred style. Then I caught up with Banjo Bill Mathews and the old-time jam on the porch of the Wildflower Inn. I was very happy. Here's a little taste of the jam. (Bill had left to get ready for his stage performance)

The nice folks at fiddlehangout.org helped me identify everyone: (from left to right)
Dave Smith (knee and hand only, MtnView area)
Kirk Hunter (fiddle, Waxahachie, Tx)
Doug Stevens (fiddle, Arkansas)
Bill Baird, (camera, fiddle, Arkansas)
Fred Moss (banjo, Dallas)
Jeff Kamp (banjo, Arkansas)
Suzie Vause (fiddle, Arkansas)
Jeremy Myers (Fiddle, Arkansas/Missouri border)
