As the jug band sawed away, someone passed out Green Thumb hard hats (worn as protection against falling tree branches). One of the hats wound up atop that dour Arkansan John McClellan, 71. Without a change in his grim expression, McClellan stood up and began dancing a jig to the Arkansas Traveler, all the while slapping at the hat to keep it in place...
