Flat Footin' in Floyd Print E-mail
Larry Middleton   
Aching feet and smiles from the memorable times . . . that's what many folks woke up to the past Saturday morning after a night of flat-footin' and two-steppin' in Floyd, on Friday night. At the Floyd Country Store, the Buck Mountain Band closed operations with a late encore. Hoops and hollering resonated throughout the building as folks danced - often with virtual strangers.
 
The downtown sidewalks were packed with 'pick-up' bands that offered many instrumental and traditional song renditions of  historical favorites. 'Jam' sessions pleased all, including the musicians, according to the 'with-it' facial expressions and body language they displayed.
 
It was simply a joy to see folks having a good time and hearing songs that, while traditional in this area, were new to many. Great musicians, kind-mannered folks on the crowded sidewalks . . . a Summer night of pleasure!

Flat Footin' Floyd

Folks that haven't been to the Floyd Country Store, or just walked the sidewalks at night, are missing pleasures of art that are not available in most areas. Boots not required!
