"'I could tell you about The Bibb City Ramblers and how they brought out the hoe-down, East Georgia style on Saturday afternoon quickly followed by The Shadowville Allstars and their insane menagerie of pickers, strummers, drummers, bangers, trumpeters, trombonists, chanters, singers, freaks, faux-Indian dancers and I forget all what. I wish I could capture with words the colorful costumed cacophony of chaos that rolled from the both levels of the double-decker stage out to the performance area and up the hill to the kitchen and on out over the pond before it dissipated into the ether, never ever to be reproduced. (You just can’t recapture the magic of an organic improve performance.) I was thrilled to be able to bond with all the folks who made the trip down to Seale all the way from Asheville, NC — my childhood home town. I was even more thrilled to be able to point out to the Asheville peeps that the weirdest thing on stage bar none was an act from Columbus, GA — my adopted forever-home.' -Katy Clyde"
