Thanks CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing a music video of the First Bluegrass Festival which took place Fincastle, Virginia in 1965 featuring Don Reno.
The following year it was moved to Berryville, Virginia.
I drive by Berryville, Virginia every time I drive to the VAMC at Martinsburg, WV
Berryville is the county seat of Clarke County in the Shenandoah Valley.
"The original Fincastle event was partly a celebration of the music and the artists who played it, and partly a example of the missionary zeal and desire to educate people about the history of bluegrass music – and Bill Monroe’s central role in that story – that Haney took on as his personal crusade. Haney became famous for putting different groups of musicians together on stage, often using them to recreate the lineup of a previous version of The Bluegrass Boys, or to make some other point about the music in addition to entertaining his audiences."
