I was having a bad day (after many amazing ones at clifftop), but something pulled me in this direction and the brief encouter lifted my spirits.

Why do people seek out players like this and then stand around and TALK? They only time they shut up is when the music stops. Unbelievable.

@whipsnade13 Agree not my best filming, sorry. personally, the upload captures the combination of sweet tunes and friendly chatter that lifted a dark cloud of sadness that black friday. My mom had died a couple months prior and after a week of sleep deprivating camping, the reality of her loss finally sank in. wasn't until I happened upon these Clifftop magicians, ~ 4pm, that i cheered up. dang, I thought I might never stop crying, but music = magic, isn't it? happy new year!

Duck River

@moonshineV Brad calls this "Hell on the Nine Mile." It is also known as "Muddy Road to Kansas," "Dubuque," "Duck River" and "The Big Mule," and probably other names, too.
