 Intimacy comes from being yourself on the stage and making the audience feel, without trying, that you're sittin' down there with 'em, playing, and that can happen in a big hall, if you have a good audience who want to listen. Doc Watson |

 On today's kids performing at bluegrass festivals: Right there’s a case in point of the tradition being alive and well. Go to bluegrass shows. Those kids can really play banjos, sing lead, and write songs. Marty Stuart |

 I love playing all kinds of music, and the way to learn that music is with the musicians who invented that style. It's hard to write a style--you need to absorb it. David Grisman |

 I've come up with the theory that the music is within. We don't bring it in; it's already there. We have to figure out how to get it out. Howard Roberts |

It was a fabulous day!
See you next year!
In 2000 Dancin’ John attended 19 music festivals and music shows.
After speaking with friends, he discovered that he had attended
more events than anyone he knew. In 2001 he decided to make a
deliberate effort to attend as many music events as possible to
see what his record high could be. He attended 120 events---but
many festivals and events were cancelled after the September 11
attacks. John decided to try again in 2002 to see how many events
he could attend in a full year. His amazing record for 2002 was
162 music festivals and shows. Realizing this was a record not
likely to be broken by himself or anyone else, John has since 2002
attended 40-50 festivals or shows each year. Even at 40-50 per year,
we doubt anyone can challenge his record! Dancin’ John, we all THANK YOU
for your unwavering loyalty to musicians and to music events.
