  VIDEO: DANCING THE CLINCH MOUNTAIN BACKSTEP AT THE GOWER BLUEGRASS FESTIVAL

From Richie at the 2007 Gofest...  the Brandywine Cloggers were as energetic as usual - who chose Clinch Mtn Backstep and Foggy Mountain Breakdown for the fast dances I wonder - sadistic or what?

From Andrew...  It was Marie! Richie, the cloggers can dance faster than that! Are they masochists?
