Fiddlers Picnic.

Yesterday I went the whole day to Long Point Park to see the Fiddlers. It was great.It started at 11 a.m. with the Flint Hill Folk.It is a group that includes Geneseo professor Jim Kimball on the fiddle, banjo and Ray Baumer of Chili on guitar and Pat Carey of Irondequoit on guitar and flute. They did a great job. It reminded me of my husbands group in the Netherlands.They played Canaal songs, patriotic songs, Stephen Foster songs Irish-American and Civil War songs. To me this was the best group. Other groups where Phil Banaszak with City Fiddle, The Chercroppers, Sunset Blue grass,The Fraterrigo Family,Fiddlesticks,Dick Jopson en the Northernaires, The WCJW, The Red Hot Trio, The Spair Tyme and the Kelly's Old Timers. It started at 11 a.m. and ended at 8.30 p.m. On the end they had some square Dances. A great day on a great summer day.
