This guy from West Virginia played competition fiddle, guitar and banjo during the Charlie Poole Bluegrass Festival in Eden, NC last weekend. I caught him sitting behind a nearby building practicing in the shade for his upcoming on-stage performance with his banjo. He and all others entered in the competition share a great deal of love for traditional Appalachian Mountain music, and when I was around them for just a short while, all I heard was talk about the "great ones" that had come before them. People like Charlie Poole.
