Banjo Clog

That's what they call their music, this duo at the Farmer's Market this afternoon. The band is named Squirrel Butter and it seemed like they were passing through town and playing as many gigs as they could get, playing their lively music and entertaining the crowd.

The feet in black belong to the performer who clog dances while she plays the banjo--it is wonderful and fascinating to watch and to listen to the complex rhythm that she generates on that portable wooden platform. The woman in the wheelchair was dancing too, tipping back in the chair far enough to make me nervous, and kind of rocking and bouncing to the music. We were eating juicy brisket tacos dripping with bright green chimichurri sauce. A lovely warm afternoon downtown at the market.
