Mississippi Queen..You Know What I Mean! (13)

I call this young girl the Mississippi Queen because at only 11 years old, she has a stage presence that is just dynamite! She plays guitars, fiddle/violin, banjo, and harmonica, the best I've ever seen. I'll probably post two or three. She was playing at the Celtic Jam Festival Ceilidh with a teacher friend of mine who only met her two hours before and they were playing like they'd been together for some time! She is also so 'down home nice!' She's probably mostly Cajun which is a mix of various races like French, Spanish, Indian and Caucasian. I forgot her name and will have to call my friend as someone stole my photographer's notes (cute little notebook with attached pen) while I was 'fishing for a pic!' I was in my kilt and it should have scared them, but didn't :)

The lighting was fading fast as evening approached and I had to move all over the audience to try to get away from the mikes, cords, and supports being in the way.

PP: added frame this time, cropped out a support, sharpened.
