Janie,

I mentioned the Soup Kitchen CD because it seems to be the only recording that has the song that is currently available.

To be honest, I might already have it. I remember Bill selling me a CD at Stonewall Jackson maybe last year. I'll have to look. My CDs are not as well organized as they should be. Nor is my memory.

Grew up in Williamson. My father grew up in Huntington. My wife's family is from Eastern Kentucky, Letcher County.

Since I am a GUEST, and I insist on remaining a GUEST on principal, pm-ing me is not an option.

If you visit WV regularly, you could perhaps plan a visit during the last week in July and spend a day at Clifftop. That way you can avoid the logistical hassles of camping.

I really don't want to be pushy or obsessive about Clifftop. It is not for everybody. But it is a unique experience that might be worth sampling. Now that I think of it, Helena Triplett used to enter the non-trad band contest and sing a ballad. Occasionally there have been ballad workshops where some of the participants actually knew what a ballad is.

As much as I like Clifftop, my personal favorite is the Stonewall Jackson Jubilee (labor day). Sort of Clifftop for West Virginians.

I think that a few members of the cat are West Virginians. One, who shall remain nameless, seems to be some sort of "professional" hillbilly. I'm surprised they haven't chimed in.
