The 5th Year of Fiddlin' - part one

Labor Day Weekend arrives once more
And yes, we have been here four times before.

The festival took time to prepare and plan
The next was started before this one began

The big day will all too soon arrive
“Fiddlin’ With the Frogs” -- number FIVE!

There’s jammin’ by day
Walk around, stop and listen, there’s more on the way

There’s jammin’ by night
Walk around, stop and listen, at ‘bout any site

With jam session instruments tuned just right
There will be music heard everywhere, to all’s delight

The best instrument of all is, of course, the Dobro
For Froglegs at least, it is the hit of the show

Now Frogman, he likes his guitar,
He thinks that instrument is the show’s star

Fiddle, banjo, bass and mandolin
Musicians use them all when they pick and grin

So, what do bands need the most?  Of course it is fans.
And they know in advance to make bluegrass plans

Soon we’ll begin this Fiddlin’s 5th year Festival
Each year just gets better and
this one’s the BEST OF ALL!

The work is done the time is near
The show is on time never fear

The weather will be perfect, over the weekend
Come on over and sit, and bring a few friends

Welcome to all - fans, bands, and all others
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers

Friday at night and Saturday most of the day
Walk, look and listen as bands and jammers all play

So on with the show, get the bands up on stage
Or listen to the jam shows that take place offstage
The 5th Year of Fiddlin’ - part two

The festival has been fun, from
number one to number four
So it was decided that we do just one more

The 5th is now past
And was, sadly, the last

We couldn’t have done this - for the past 5 years
If we didn’t have friends who were also volunteers

Some came from near, most came from afar
Some lived right here, some came down by car

The Yankees (and there were a LOT) came down
from the north
It didn’t bother them to travel back and forth

The friends from “down here”
Made plans to help out year after year.

So, “Fiddlin’ With the Frogs” is no more
But never fear - there are other adventures to explore

And is this the end of Froglegs and Frogman?
Of course not, we’ll find a new adventure
as soon as we can!

It’s time to relax for Froglegs and Frogman,
We have the rest of our lives to plan.

LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE
JUMP IN WITH BOTH FEET
                      DON’T LOOK BACK                                
       DON’T QUESTION “WHAT IF?”
