One of the more entertaining bands at the festival, playing numerous sets over the four days, is the Kody Norris Show. The Kody Norris band features traditional bluegrass along with dancing, clowning around, comedy, and audience participation tossed in for dessert. Wearing bright blue and red suits on stage,their group musicianship is high and all our crowd spirits under the big tent this afternoon are in fine shape. Kody, who is soon to marry the group’s fiddle player, Mary Rachel, asks the audience for tips on making his imminent marriage successful. One of the best audience suggestions is , ” She is always right. ” Everyone laughs, when they hear this wisdom,except for the ladies. They all nod their heads in total agreement and give their husbands, boy friends and significant others  stern “You should be doing this ” looks.  We catch the band several times between Thursday and Sunday, and each performance is just a little bit different but not too different. Another good tip for Kody, as a soon to be husband ,would be – don’t sing the same song too many times. Variety is always needed in performing, regardless of what kind it is.
