Thanks Ron. You were definitely part of the success that first year and the next. Maybe you could mention who the two friends were that came the second year. I never did get their names.

Here is a list (In no particular order.)of the musicians who played these past five years.

Ron Bankley and Stormin Norman Doucette.
Juila Kater, Penny Lang, The Echo Hunters, John Speed and Mouton Noir, Beverley McGuire and Susan Palmer. Dusty Rose, Neil MacKay and Together Again. Road Scholars, Le Groupe Folklorique Du Sud-Ouest Quebec. Smokey Rose, Celtic Grass and Four Strings and a Squeeze Box that was my group.
Chris Pennington, The late great Kirk MacGeachy and his buddy David Gossage. Chris Crilly and Christian Laurence. Jim Robinson, Dave Clark, Jou Tou which is Andre Thibault and his wife Qiu. The Fat Tuesday Brass Band. Swift Years, Hughie McDonell, The Back Porch Band, Fran Aiken, Yonder Hill. Bill Garrett and Sue Lothrop. The Boll Weevil Acoustic Band, Dave Nichols and spare Change. Mike O'Brien, Terry Joe Banjo, Joe Grass, Bush Business, Osmosaic, The Chateauguay Valley Boys and Way Back Kountry.
Notre dame de Grass, David Francey, Shane Simpson. Norm Rennie, Angela Desveaux, Swerve, Sweetfield, Des Aires de Famille, Gospel Singers.
Isabelle Delage, Ron Hynes, Terry Tufts, Kitchen Party, Biz Oliver Trio, Dan Livingstone Trio, Dale Boyle, Kevin Mark. The Barn Burners. Chris Rawlings, Little Brown Jug. Bridge End Dairy Company, Victor Courte And Bruce Murdoch.

Then there were the names of those who played in groups that I don't have in memory or on paper but thank you all.

The other thing that I want to mention ( Ron Bankley touched on it.)
is that most groups were asked to come back the following year. But after two years in a row they were dropped out as I felt that new entertainers should be booked so that folks wouldn't start complaining that it was the same musicians over and over again. The exception would of course be the David Francey and Ron Hynes. Not that I wouldn't want them to be back but due to the almighty dollar and bookings else where.
I hope I didn't forget anyone and if I did well to bad(ha!). The reason I did this is to maybe strike an observation note with some one who might say "Hay, I know that person".
