How old is that violin?

Tonight the crowd was nearly as old as Dorito's violin. The Fiddlers Three entertained for the 1937-1939 class reunion from Neely Elementary School. (Hint: His violin is 87 years old.) Everybody was smiling and humming along with "Buffalo Gals," so I think there's something to be said for live music.

Earlier in the afternoon, we enjoyed the trio of "Fresh Cut Grass," which includes our violin instructor. Every year we watch his bow fly over the strings. Hot bluegrass makes Dorito ready to learn a new fiddle tune! Sitting by us were Brooks and Owen, who also wanted to get kettle korn, home-made rootbeer, and corndogs. Then we were too full to eat funnel cakes. Best of all, we saw the Civil War re-enactors, and one of the Southerners showed Owen his gun!
