I remember my first night at Merlefest - I had spotted Victor's beautiful daughter earlier at a hippy stand and she got on stage and danced at the show. I think she was about three with this gorgeous blonde afro and Victor playing and watching her proudly.
One of the nights Dolly Parton pointed to Chris Thile and said (in reference to his backstreet boy's hairdo)"Now what in the heck are we gunno do with that spastic, spikehaired sparrow back there?

ha! yeah vic's little kid is super cute. she came out on stage to dance during one rendition of "polka on the banjo" at a show we saw in nashville. stole the show.
