Mike E. had a pleasant surprise at the Windgap Bluegrass Festival (June 7-10). Tennessee Mike Hawkins stopped on his trek of the Appalachian Trail to attend along with James Formica. It was a shock seeing both. Normally clean-cut Tennessee was sporting a full beard and James was clean-shaven and had cut his hair. Tennessee is midway through his goal of hiking the Appalachian Trail. He started in Georgia three months ago or so and will end in Maine sometime in the next two months. I missed getting a picture of James (we’ll see if anyone else got one). Tennessee is not one to travel without a banjo. He has been carrying a small travel banjo (not the one pictured). It was a joy seeing them both and playing the old songs.
