Mountain View is indeed a great place to share music. Since I left the Ozarks in the early 80's, I try to get back once a year to see my friends and to play. Just park on the square and haul out your instruments. There are permanent chairs around the square and usually a campfire when it's cold. The MV festival the third weekend in April is packed with excellent players from all around. It is not to be missed! And it's all free! harpgirl
