Janie,
Left WV in 74. A lot of good musical stuff started happening after I left.
Went to Ivydale and Cedar Lakes but never got to Glenville. I have remedied that lack in recent years.
Don't remember the Huntersville festival.
Do remember Don West's festial at Pipestem. Good music but one thing that sticks in my memory is being greeted at the gate by some flatlander playing hillbilly. I was way more polite than I should've been.
Never got to Gardner. In the late 60s and early 70s before the interstates and Corridor G it was an extremely long hike from SW WV to Morgantown. Actually it was an extremely long hike from almost anywhere in WV to almost anywhere in WV in those days.
