Dillon Bustin Brown County citizens and friends will recognize Dillon Bustin, the author of If You Don’t Outdie Me (IU Press, 1983), a volume that has reached iconic places of distinction on coffee tables and family bookshelves. Bustin’s first album as a songwriter, Dillon Bustin’s Almanac (June Appal Recordings, 1983), chronicled the back-to-the land movement
in southern Indiana during the 1970s. 
Grey Larsen Grey Larsen is one of America's finest players of the Irish flute and tin whistle, as well as an accomplished singer and concertina,
fiddle, piano and harmonium player. Grey's playing has been called "positively spellbinding" (The New Mexico Daily, Albuquerque, NM) and "exceptionally exceptional" (The Spectator, Raleigh Durham, NC). Larsen has authored The Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle and The Essential Tin Whistle Toolbox, and appeared on such programs as Garrison Kiellor's Prairie Home Companion, as well as the Bloomington based Lotus Festival.
