Over The Waterfall audio sample by the Percival Pickers Some of the best traditional music in Morgantown has been played over the years by the Percival Hall Pickers, a group of musicians who get together weekly to play, learn tunes from each other, and exchange techniques. The Pickers have been major supporters of the GWMF since the beginning.
