SUMMARY:Galax Old Fiddlers’ Convention
DESCRIPTION:The Old Fiddlers’ Convention is an unqualified round-the-cloc
 k buffet of old-time and bluegrass music. The Convention originated in 193
 5‚ and except for a single year during World War II‚ it has happened e
 very year since‚ making it about the oldest and most popular such event 
 in Appalachia. At the 2000 Convention a total of 2‚175 musicians registe
 red to compete. During the evenings of the Convention each musician plays 
 his or her selection on stage for the allotted two and a half minutes‚ a
 nd sometimes the competition can go on until three or four o’clock in th
 e morning. While that is happening‚ all around the festival grounds musi
 cians and music lovers play and listen to each other. The Convention site 
 has seating for 1‚000 people‚ but it never hurts to bring along foldin
 g chairs. At the height of the event on Friday and Saturday evenings‚ an
  audience of 10‚000 or more may be in attendance‚ so plan to arrive ea
 rly and stay late - very late. Do not forget to bring along your foul weat
 her gear‚ this event is famous for its sudden and torrential thunder sto
 rms.\n\nPhone: 276-236-8541\nURL: http://www.oldfiddlersconvention.com/\
