Jams All Over the Park
 I recall seeing
a band from New England called Traver Hollow, and they played
all of my favorite songs of Bill Monroe's, Flatt & Scruggs,
and many others. They jammed all day and half the night of my
first day there, and then played shows the next day. Many people
stood around their canopy in the drizzle listening to them for
a very long time. I was in awe of all the talent there, both
on stage and off.
I had never seen so many musicians in one
place! I stayed up very late every night, sometimes all night
just listening to the jam sessions all over the park. I was a
beginning banjo picker at that time, and tried to devour every
bit of good picking I could listen to. It will remain one of
my favorite memories for years to come.
I stayed for about 5 days and really hated
to leave there. I knew I would return as often as possible, and
have been back many times since then.
