American Pastimes features local musicians The Ruby Hollow Band and Jude Darren, plus String Cheese Incident performing at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds in Chico. There are songs about wolves (to welcome a pack to Tehama County). Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe provide bluegrass, Mark O'Connor, Pat Flynn and Joe Maphis provide guitar lessons. We scratch the surface of Ridgel's Fountain Citians (from 1928) and Burnett & Rutherford (1929). Clark Kessinger and John Ashby dazzle with their fiddle techniques. The last 30 minutes is hopped up string bands who won't go quietly into the night.
