I remember when Doc South's Family Band played at the Bridge, a small coffee shop on Northern Lights in Anchorage many years ago.  At the time, there wasn't much happening in Anchorage, and people had to make their own amusement, and bluegrass jams were pretty popular at the Bridge and a couple of other local spots, especially in winter.  Doc was always friendly, reaching out to people, and everyone got a chance to play, whether they were proficient or rank beginners.  Doc used to call square dances too, and play his fiddle at dances.  There wasn't a lot of callers around then, as now.  Hooray for Doc South.  He made a big impression on a lot of people back then, and we are still playing our guitars and banjos.  Ellen Lockyer  Anchorage
