FROM THE BLUEGRASS FESTIVALS
Many people remember us for our yellow van.
After we retired from traveling and opened our shop we gradually started
going to a few festivals again. One of the first things that the people
at our indoor shows wanted to see was our yellow van. We took several out
in the parking lot to visit it and prove that after all those years it
was still carrying us to festivals. Unfortunately after that year it had
to be retired to the farm. But here is a picture of it for those nostalgic
folks out there.
