Hey, thanks for posting this! The tune our band, Mando Mafia, played at 1:11:44 (George & Gladys Kazatski), got us into the band final that year, and then we went on to win the competition. In later years, lots of people were recording music on stage, but in 1999, not so much. I had no idea that there was a recording of this...thanks so much! Pete Marshall
That's Walt Koken on the left with banjo with the overhanging fingerboard. Buddy McClure with guitar, LaNelle Davis on bass, me with mandolin. Personnel change at around 27:00: Rafe Stefanini fiddling, Mac Benford on banjo, Marianne Kovatch on guitar, Highwoods fiddler in purple shirt. At 30:44 Bob Carlin comes in on guitar and that's Paula Bradley in the white cowboy hat and Bob Potts-fiddle. After 31:00: James Leva, Al ? on banjo, --? bass, 31:58: Banjo player on the lower left looks like Al Tharp who played in James Leva's band.
Sometimes you forget how good the music was then.
