Heading out in the AM for Mountain View AR to spend a few days enjoying the great folks of MV and spending as much time as possible playing in a few jams on "The Square". If you've ever been, you understand, if you haven't then shame on you and come on up and experience a true treasure.

Home of Jimmy Driftwood who wrote the song battle of New Orleans.

Which years later made famous by Johnny Horton.

Cool little town. That whole stretch on Hwy 63 starting at I-55 is pretty cool. I've driven it 10,000 times it seems like.

Went back in 2012. Bluegrass,
Folk and Country bands playing at same time just a few feet away from one another. It was a great experience except it was a dry county. Not sure if it's still dry or not.

Went there on a family trip when i was 12 and had just started learning guitar myself. It was around the same time Nirvana had done their unplugged show on MTV. Me and a buddy who was with me were walking around listening and heard these old men in their 70s at least singing “In the Pines” it blew my young mind, had no idea it was an old standard bluegrass tune. It was awesome!

I took a visit to Mountain View some years ago.

Bluegrass was being played and an older man jumped up and began to dance.

He danced away from the town square.

Legend has it that the old man is still dancing to this day.

I've been there in the 90s. Also Blanchard Springs Caverns.
And, are any of you familiar with a little town up there called Six?
