Thanks COSBY


























BOYS and GIRLS it was a cold wet snowy day in Cosby
but the welcome and hospitality from the Penny and her
crew made it a wonderful experience for The Mountain Folk Reunion
Band.

We played on a covered stage with the sound of a hard rain/sleet
hitting the roof and had great fun. Naturally a song about RAIN
just had to be touched off!



The Mountain Folk Reunion Band has more things in November and December so stay tuned!



After a really fun time we shut her down and
headed back to the flat lands...
