Home of the Highwoods Stringband

This one will be brief... the fiddler was not feeling well and that was kinda tough, but we all managed to kick some anyway... it was like paying tribute for me, imagining the Highwoods Stringband in their heyday in the 70's playing around town and maybe at the Chapter House even, I'll have to find out about that.  Big enough crowd to make it really fun and and a good payday too which really helps at a bar show.  Also some of the Corning Grass Works folks were there, and Mr. Dom Sgro and his wife (see Canyon Country entry), which was a real honor.  A sweet country-dressed older couple got up and jigged a few numbers, yelled out a request for Cotton Eyed Joe and really went to town.  Also lots of young folks gettin' crazy and full of Wilder Fever before the night was over.  We'll be back, I bet.
