This was one of their last performances at the old "Opry
Palace" in Rough and Ready, right on the Rough and Ready Hwy
through town. They had to move to make room for construction of the new
Rough and Ready Fire Station. They now play at the same time but at the
Grange, 14550 Rough and Ready Hwy, across the street from the market.
The Fruit Jar Pickers' Sunday get-together is
the best ongoing entertainment event in the Rough and Ready / Penn
Valley region, if not the entire western Nevada County. Just head up Rough and
Ready road to the town before 10 a.m. any Sunday morning for two hours
of sing along music, friendship and fun. The crowd spills outside the rustic hall
before 10 a.m. so you may want to get there early.
It's difficult to hear distinct words (as least
for me it is) in this song from their CD #3 because most of the voices
are in the audience without microphones. But that's part of the charm of
the whole affair, and the musicians are all very good.
