"Stop and listen to the buskers/the guitar man"

One really neat way to meet folks in mountain town is to stop and sing with and talk to the buskers. Downtown, they are on every corner if it's above 40 degrees.

The 2 young men i met yesterday are about 20 and they are from Dayton, OH. When they told me they got to Mountain Town by train, I asked about Amtrak! That's not what they meant! They hopped freight trains the entire way. One plays banjo, the other guitar and they do mostly originals.

I tried to harmonize on a cover, but it was tough for our voices to mix in this case. They love Mountain Town and are going to try to make a go of it here.
