Hey Campers, if you don’t have a video of your band’s performance, plz let me know & I’ll send you an “unlisted” link, or it can be posted - if you wish. I recorded all the bands (while still wearing a mandolin around my neck!:rofl:). Its cell phone vid. Just let me know your band # & name.
:clap: Great Job to all the bands! :clap:

It’s both humbling and a blessing to be the least talented picker on the stage–especially when it’s your stage :wink:

Kyle Cantrell and me. He’s a dear friend and brother.

The Melting Pot Squirrel Stew band debuted at the October Cabin Camp! Yes, that’s right, members came together from Germany, Wyoming, Missouri, Alabama, and Louisiana to meld their talents into a potpourri of music sure to please every musical tastebud. @Wayne_H kicked off the Circle with a great intro and poured out some tasty banjo chops on the first break. Becki vamped background banjo and was the secret sauce that held this dish together. Rich, Peter, and Wayne danced around the mic in a perfectly choreographed and efficient use of the main microphone, while @HeloSteve spiced up the performance with a great mandolin break and added vocals to the big finish. Rich and Peter blended their harmonized guitar parts on their break and swapped vocal parts throughout the song, adding to the nuanced complexity of this presentation. Yes, there were many cooks contributing to this stew, and this was one sweet recipe for success, hahahahaha!

Thanks to @Simone for the video and thanks to @BanjoBen for a great camp!
