Off on a tangent again...

A few years ago I went to Mountain View, Arkansas. Advertised as 'The folk music capital of the USA'. In fact, on some placards it stated 'Folk music capital of teh world' but lets not get into the US view of the world;-)

Anyhow - It is the state capital of Stone County which is, believe it or not, a dry county! You can be arrested just for having alcohol in the boot of your car. Or should I say trunk? Whatever. So, if one definition of folk music involves alcohol how does Mountain View fit in?

Mind you, there was one fiddle player in one of the outdoor public sessions kept vanshing and then returning, wiping his mouth, with a big grin on his face:-)

Cheers
