SUPER=03-Galax;
The annual convention gives over 30 thousand pickers, singers and
flatfooters the chance to get together for a few days of competition and fun.
The Galax Moose Club sponsors the event.
This year over 22-hundred players from all over the world are competeing
until the early morning.
The stage is not the only play for performers, every where you look in Galax
is an impromptu jam session.
As we leave you tonight, we'll sit in on just such a session. Have a good
night.
