Notes:
Anonymous Collection Cassette #379 is simply put, one fine bluegrass tape.  Classic!  This cassette takes the
bluegrass time traveler back to Carlton Haney's Second Annual Bluegrass Festival at Cantrell's Horse Farm,
Fincastle, VA on 9/2/66.  Leading things off on Side A is a short but well-received set by Buck White & The Down
Home Folks (Buck White and his wife, Pat, along with Arnold and Peggy Johnston), who at the time of this
performance had yet to release a commercial recording; Buck later went on to greater fame in country music
circles when the group added his daughters Sharon and Cheryl, and they changed their name to The Whites in 1979.
Next up is a Reno & Smiley reunion performance with Don Reno, Red Smiley, Ronnie Reno, and members of the
Shenandoah Cut-Ups(Clarence 'Tater' Tate-fiddle, Billy Edwards-banjo, and John Palmer-bass.  Straddling Sides A
and B is a marvelous set by Bill Monroe & His Blue Grass Boys (Peter Rowan-guitar, Lamar Grier-banjo, Richard
Greene-fiddle, & James Monroe-bass) who are joined for much of the set by famed fiddler and Blue Grass Boy,
Kenny Baker, for some sweet twin-fiddling.  Rounding out Side B is a wonderful performance by Jim & Jesse and
the Virginia Boys (Jim McReynolds-guitar, Jesse McReynolds-mandolin, Bobby Thompson-banjo, Jim Buchanan-fiddle, &
Dickie Mauldin-bass); Thompson and Buchanan were featured on many of Jim & Jesse's classic recordings, and it is
a special treat to hear Thompson burning up the frets on 'Sugar Foot Rag'; banjo picking doesn't get much better.
