In the Green Room before
the show with Daryl Jayne, who does a fine job with the sound at the Fold
and has known the founders of the Red Clay Ramblers from waaaaay back.
A real fan, he got our guys to autograph the sound diagram for their microphones |

Bill Hicks greets friends
and fans beside the stage before the show. Look at that full house! |
|
Janette Carter
always requests "Daniel Prayed." The guys still tell the story of
the year they put it in the first set, then had to do it again in the second
set by her request. A video of the Red Clay Ramblers performing "Daniel
Prayed" at the Fold in the early 80s is part of Appalshop's Sunny Side
of Life documentary on the Carter Family. Order yours from Elderly
Instruments or Appalshop.

Jim joins Janette Carter
and her brother Joe on either side of Bill Clifton. Clifton, a long
time performer of bluegrass and old time music, is from the Hiltons area
where he knew A.P. Carter and was very much influenced by him. |

Just look at
the party! The folks in the seats have poured down to the dance floor.
Our guys gave them tune after tune, and they danced to every song, fast
or slow -- then clapped and stomped for an encore.
