Amanda DeLauder Saturday, 3:30 p.m. A big thanks to the total starnger who cared enough to come and spray me with sunscreen in the spot on my back that I couldn’t reach. I’m sure you saved me from blisters. Thank you! Shane Thompson Saturday around 4. The guy who made his own instruments showed me a banjo made from a cookie tin. I proceeded to ask him what support system was inside of the cookie tin? He popped the back of to show me a wooden dowel and a little red pair of jogging pants. I asked if the jogging pants stuffed in there really helped the sound. He said that his little daughter had an accident in her pants a long time ago at a show so he stuff the pants in the banjo — and it actually sounded a lot better.

Wayne Cargile Saturday around 5:45. Lizzy and Little Roy were standing in the beating-down sun waiting for their set to start on the side stage. They may be local, but these two are my favorites. She mentioned her lack of sunglasses so I gave her my Raybans to wear. She looked great. Emily Carder Stevenson Saturday, around 6 p.m. I had the pleasure of escorting Ketch from Old Crow Medicine Show on a taste testing tour of the Banjo-B-Q cookers. Ketch wanted to do a little sampling and the wonderful folks in BBQ World were more than happy for one of the Old Crow guys to taste their cooking. Ketch was so friendly and spoke to each chef we met for a good while, inquiring about their success at the event, the way they served their meat to the judges and details about

their sauces. He took pictures with some folks and chatted with everyone, graciously thanking them for the food and letting them know what time they could see he and his band on stage. There’s nothing quite so nice as seeing people who have achieved a great deal of success not let it go to their head! Joe Stevenson With Doc Watson and David Holt on stage, the colors were presented and Jaycie Ward sang the National Anthem. In a few spots during the anthem, Doc even picked along for a few notes on his guitar. Another cool moment Saturday night during Old Crow’s set was seeing so many of the bands that had perform that day sitting on the side of the stage watching in awe. Wayne Cargile 9:40 Saturday night. During the fireworks, a little yappy dog was going nonstop. As thousands of people stood watching, someone, at a completely quiet moment, yelled “Somebody shut that dog up!” Chris Rucker Sunday morning around midnight-1 a.m. Across from my RV, Cory Younts of Old Crow Medicine Show (mandolin, vocals) was hanging with a cooker who placed 50 something, eating barbecue, blasting bluegrass Pandora and having a ball! Todd and I decided to join the action, and ended up eating our weight in barbecue/ brisket and discussing the underworld culture of the catering and cookoff world. Though he did not place well, he was still there and extremely excited to have been a part of the BJBQ2011.
