Folk Fest after hours

When the crowds go home the music doesn't stop. Over at the DoubleTree last night the merrymaking went into the wee small hours. Musicians were in good spirits and immediately gelled in jigs and reels. Fiddle players from the Canadian, Quebecois, bluegrass and Mountain bands were backed by bassists, banjos, guitars, mandolins and a drum from their respective bands. They quickly settled into jigs and reels, seemingly stuck in the loop for at least two hours. Instead of dueling banjos, there were dueling Canadian dancers as their foot work drove the rhythm late into the night. (dancing on what seemed to be an abandoned legless tabletop). After midnight the Creole cowboys wailed on the accordion with sound that seemed to flow seamlessly into the river from the delta. Oh what a night!
