Shannondale Retirement Community show

Two Thirds of the Mountain Folk Reunion Band played
for some folks at the Shannondale Retirement Community
on April April 12th.
Banjo Bobby had pressing business out of state so
Kelley and Walker faked the show without him.

It was a wonderful experience and we we promised to return
with the full road show (OK the manager of the Dancing Chickens
is still fighting with us over a pay increase so they are iffy)
in the near to distant future!

Here are a few of the songs, please excuse the lack of the
banjo and Andy keeping time. Remember we said we FAKED our
way through it all!



















The Mountain Folk Reunion's next stop will be the Ramp Festival
near Cosby, Tennessee on May 2nd. We will be on the lower
stage starting at 1 PM.

See you down the road!
