If you like bluegrass music, or feel like doing some country dancing,
or just want to relive Woodstock with a bunch of us 30-year-old ex-hippies,
you don't want to miss the Black Mountain Spring Festival this coming
weekend (May 17-19). Music starts sometime on Friday, dancing continues
nearly all night. Swim in the lake, rent a canoe, dance all night, or just
lie in the sun and listen to the music (Johnny Gimble, Jethro Burns,
Mike Seeger, and do you really care who else is playing ... it's just
plain fun). Happens at Camp Rockmount in Black Mountain, North Carolina
(30 miles east of Ashville). Bunks are available in the bunkhouses
(this place is a boys' camp during the summer months), but much more fun
to bring a tent. Good food, vegetarian and otherwise, served at the
dining hall. Bring the kids, your fiddle to jam on, and anyone else you
like (no dogs). $25 per person includes festival admssion + camping for
the weekend ($15 for kids under 18).
For more info, call or write:

(I meant to get this posted earlier, but you know how it is, end of the
semester and all that.)
