@JudgeSturdy: thanks, you're right! I've corrected it in the description.

Thanks for posting! Great to re-live moments and count 'em, not 1 but 2 versions of 5 Miles from Town! Thanks Julie! That's Scott Friend on mando, Rick Friend on guitar, and Ben Nelson on banjo!

@fiddlerjane: Thanks, for some reason I thought it was "Lost Indian."

Thanks for posting AND identifying. I was lucky enough to be camping next to Hugh Crumley and crew. Felt like I should have been charged a cover or something. What a band!
