Ralph Stanley II performed the song "Home In The Mountains" in his show and mentioned Donna's husband Rick Stanley as the writer which was a nice touch to the weekend.

Don and Bobbie Day host two festivals a year and if you are near Conway, MO or like to travel from festival to festival, this is one you will want to attend! Click here for more information about the Starvy Creek Bluegrass Festival.
