I've been playing Old-time Music for 45+ years. This festival is well-organized, relaxed, family-friendly, community-focused, welcoming to newcomers, and has great music, from both the performers and all those who join in on the endless jams sessions. In a word, it is a fantastic, participatory event that I look forward to every year (this was my sixth). Any army of volunteers helps out, but Bob Zuellig is the mover-and-shaker of the festival, and he puts his heart and soul into making sure it happens every year, and that it keeps getting better (and it does). A big thank you to Bob for all his work and passion--it truly shows! And thank you North Forty News for running this story, and helping to build the community that is the foundation of Old-time Music.
