Subject: RE: FIDDLER'S GROVE '06
News from Fiddler's Grove,
It's Saturday late Saturday afternoon and the shadows are getting longer. An old time fiddler's (Tom?) playing slow a melodic tune at Marvin's bus next door and folks are getting servious about fixing dinner. Tom and Donnie and the crew have gone off to eat Fried chicken where they eat every year. Alan Jabbour came by and said howdy and played some tunes with Marvin this afternoon. There's a sweet little breeze easing through the trees. Down on the main stage they're starting off. Susette and I have taken a break from our rehearsing for the recording session in July and she's reading the new Ann Tyler.
Will Key's old green school bus attracts a lot of passing picture takers, and they come to take pictures of our camp and the "Bluegrass Tonight" sign and I suppose to see what kind of strange birds come to play this old time music and Bluegrass.
Many old friends and quite a few new ones have come by to hang out and play. We've become a stop on the 'old time/bluegrass' circuit it seems.
Chip and Tish Arnold are here, and Chip played some dandy banjo duets with Marvin yesterday.
