I've entered the Old Time Banjo contest at the fall festival in Brevard, NC for several years--and although I've won many first places there in mountain dulcimer--the best I've ever done in that particular contest is 2nd place.
Well, this year--the contest was held on an outdoor stage in 35 degree weather--so I played "Snowdrop" and won first place. The prize this year was a check and a beautiful pottery coffee mug--no banjo prizes--but as always--had the pleasure of seeing and playing music with wonderful old and new friends while there.
