Since it's almost in your back yard, I'd highly recommend that you and your son check it out. I went the first several years and had a blast. It's grown exponentially every year since then.


Hard to believe, but in all the years I've lived in NC, I've never made it to ANY of the fiddlers conventions, Merlefest, Floydfest, Jameoke, etc etc

This year I finally decided to go. I don't like crowds.. but I like good music. If you ever decide to go again, you're welcome to stay at my home in order to save money on lodging.
