Part 3 features the beautiful autoharp playing of Jo ann Smith, playing at the Great Plains Dulcimer Alliance festival in Winfield, Kansas, September 10, 2005.
A mountain dulcimer instrumental of Nanci Griffith's very beautiful song. Some notes are stretched a litle out of tune, because the dulcimer is tuned down a fourth and the strings are at much lower tension.
This scene opens with another song from the Carp Camp. Then the film goes back in time to the Sept. 10 GPDA festival, with Mary Jo Smith and two other super performers (I'll need to get their names, and update), the first singing the beautiful "Rosedale Fair" and the second playing a "Bill MUN-roe tune", the classic "Jerusalem Ridge."
Part 15 has two songs by the Dewayn Brothers with Jamie Ferland, Mike West, Kirk Rundstrom, etc. See "MitC preview; Dewayn Brothers with Jamie Ferland" (uploaded 11-21) for more info.
First a vignette of the Corona Beer Box Baby, then The PoDank String Band guys introduce themselves, and are filmed playing on the road again. Note: Almost everyone plays on the road there. It's part of the everchanging experience of "living on Winfield time".

Some idiot (me) decided to use a rope and pulley to pull over a sap-filled tree that was leaning toards the house. It almost worked but the rope broke. The funny part is the final blow to the green car. Ouch.
This is the first of a series of sequential clips from the DVD film "Music in the Campgrounds", from the Walnut Valley Festival in September, 2005. Next episode coming soon.
Folk melody, unknown origin. I learned it from Don Gillette (in KC) who played it as a hammer dulcimer tune. This is an experimental cyber-duet, with the first track (mountain dulcimer) recorded, then played back on the computer while a second film (this one) was made playing along with guitar.
