Burl, I remember the festival (was one of the kids that put on the first one in '73). What I don't remember is what years I went, who was there, what happened, etc. It's just a function of being at that teenage to adult turning point, and it seems I brain-dumped a lot of earlier memories. I wish lists of performers existed somewhere on the net so I could remember what I should remember!

Niskayuna means 'braided waters', I believe. Larry Older wrote a fiddle tune (plus banjo tab) which I still have a copy of here. I believe George Ward did the banjo tabs. Vaughn may have done the tune, but I'll have to look.
