composed music about day to day life experiences. It reflected life
of those living in the hills or mountains. The Tillamook Forest has
had its share of settlers and homesteaders and we certainly have our
share of mountains. Bring your mandolins, fiddles, guitars and
banjos nd join in the fun. All ages and abilities are welcome. For
