Lordy, Lordy! I had forgotten about the WV Folk Festival. (Which means I've been gone too long.) They used to let us camp on the hill at the roadside park just out of town. Bet that is a thing well into the past.

   Pete and Russ, I don't know how much overlap there is among us generationally, but if you were playing old-time or some bluegrass music from the early '70's forward, in and around West Virginia, check out the photo section of the Gardner Festival that I linked to above. I just did--what a stroll down memory lane! And many of those same musicians from the early years are still showing up. (35 years of photos of Annie scattered through them.) If you have been to the Getaway, the Garner Festival as that same reunion feel to it.

    Do either of you remember the Ivydale festivals that John and Dave put on, or my all-time, old-time favorite, the spring and fall Huntersville festivals that BJ Sharp put on just outside of Marlinton?

    Thanks Pete. Mom and Dad or Annie may have that issue. If not, I'll order it.

    1sigis, I hope you got the lyrics you were looking for by starting this thread. I didn't mean to hijack it.
