Saturday Afternoon 12th September 2009 - A Tribute to Mike Seeger

Mike Seeger, who lived here, started this Festival, some twenty-three years ago. He died in August. I wanted to be here when they remembered him. They didn't just bring their memories, which they shared with us, they brought their instruments.
It all finished with "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?", and a vow to go on for another twenty-three years.

The local newpaper photographer offered to take a photo for me.

It almost works, doesn't it?

When Tina got her pic taken, she was actually standing with her face next to Mike's in the same plane as the photo and without the edges showing. She was in scale with him and that's why it worked...
