JimmyT, Mountain View Ark is 3-1/2 hours from Memphis. There's music in the square 7 days/wk. Arkie mentioned the Ozark Folk Center, very nice facility. You'll want to stay several days. Don't forget Blanchard Springs Caverns and swimming in Sylamore Creek. Camp at State Park (has everything you'll need) or Gunner's Pool (bring everything you'll need).
