The Story (by Pastor Tim):
There we were again, gathered under the pines in front of the Family Stage overlooking the Gallatin Valley for one last set of Reeltime music on a perfect Sunday afternoon.  The crowd was even a little larger than it had been on Saturday afternoon, and the children were again out in force.  Diane Ferlatte & Eric Pearson, the storyteller & accompanist who'd been on the stage before RTT (and would appear again after them), were also sitting in the shade enjoying the music, and that ended up giving us a bonus track for this collection as she invited Reeltime to come up and join her for a story-song.  (Look for this woman's cd's -- she's amazing!)  The long-distance Travelers were all gathered right in front of the stage and one even joined in via cell phone.  Many folks in the audience joined in on the closing "River Of Jordan" to make the day feel just that much more gospel-y.
