vanillag NOTES (1/14/2023):  
--BIG Thanks to whomever originally recorded this & shared out this 1995 Acoustic Allstars show (Sean Hawkins, I think??).  & to Lablib for sharing this version recently.  Absolutely Appreciated!!  
--this band is also called "Winterhawk All-Stars" in many places online
--"Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival" began in 1984 on the site of the 1976 Berkshire Mountain Bluegrass Festival (Rothvoss Farm, Ancramdale, Columbia County, NY).  
--"Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival" is now known as the "Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival" & since 2008 has taken place at Walsh Farm in Oak Hill, NY on the banks of Catskill Creek.

--some other artists that played "Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival 1995" (no idea what order they played in):  
--------Friday, 1995-07-14:  the Cox Family;  Dry Branch Fire Squad;  Laurie Lewis & Grant Street;  Sugarbeat;  
--------Saturday, 1995-07-15:  Peter Rowan & Friends;  Buck White & the Down Home Folks;  Sam Bush & Friends;  Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas & Friends;  Front Range;  J.D.Crowe & the New South;  Tim O'Brien & the O'Boys  
--the band Cornerstone also played, though I can't uncover which day
--This 1995 edition of the festival may have only taken place on 7/14 & 7/15 as I can't find any record of anyone playing it on 7/16, though usually this festival went Friday thru Sunday, so who knows??  If anyone was there & can confirm/share anything else about it, please let us all know.  Sam Bush says in t13, "& how many people have been at the festival all 4 days??", but that seems to be a joke based on what he says after.  
--Bill Vernon announces in t14 after the band leaves the stage "the Winterhawk Festival All-Stars, we're glad you like 'em, let's get some sleep, we'll see ya in the mornin'."  So, this festival most assuredly continued on into Sunday, 1995-07-16.

--although this sounds real clean & nice, it could use some more tasty bass & be beefed up to reach its true potential (IMO)...I may do that to it someday when I have time, but not today
--added more detail to the band members info
--corrected some song titles toward how they appear on the original albums
--uncovered the 2 missing song titles (t05 & t08)
--added more detail to the venue info & some corrections there  
--added the ffp fingerprints to the text file
--added pics of the venue
