While perusing "alt.banjo" just now, I came across this gem. And being a
banjo player with PD, the urge to share it with all of you was just too
darn much. While none of the musicians are familiar to me, I think it's
neat that people in the "alt.banjo" newsgroup are supportive of this
event...at least, this guy was.

Now you know nearly as much about it as I do.
Sounds like fun and a worthwhile cause. Weather is usually very good at
that time of year, apple harvest winding down, and a small, friendly
country town. If you're in the northwest, consider a weekend get away!
It's a nice drive. :-)
Peace,
Pat L.
