Cabinet covers of Cake's Arco Arena> The Distace at late-nite Thursday
Sierra Hull & TAB on Friday,
Fleck & Thile Saturday afternoon along with a RRE set I got into, late night with Red Knuckles & The Trailblazers was a hoot.
Sunday was packed, starting the day with Dre's Gosple Collective was inspiring, Billy Strings has a little Elvis in him & the ladies swoon when he swings those hips . The Dusters closed their set with Jessica by ABB,
A few ABB tunes wer played throughout the weekend, MC Joe Craven made a moving announcement of Gregg's passsing. We had a couple Midnight Riders (Fleck & Thile and The Steep Canyon Rangers) an In Memory Of Liz Reed and a couple more I can't recall through the weekend.
Ronnie McCoury is a big fan of Garcia's and the Grateful Ball is a natural extension
So glad I got to enjoy it with my youngest son, Box, Disco & the Fafas
VooDoo, nice.. I'm in that late night Grateful Ball picture...somewhere.
I said screw the phone, I'm taking my little point-and-shoot camera this year...glad I did.
(Our only trial & tribulation.... after a nine hour nonstop drive down from up-upstate NY, the tire pressure warning light went off 100 miles out of Cumberland at 12:30 am.
F*ck those Pennsylvania highways -- they suck. Endless construction zones. We had a nail buried in our tire.
Luckily there was lodging close by and a Midas Tire center across the street. We were there when they opened at 7:30 am and on our way in an hour.
Sooo much great Music at three different locations, plus DelFans with random picks throughout the Fairgrounds. Too much happening to see/hear everything, but no complaints.
I served as a Volunteer selling Ice & Beer for a discount ticket, and all of the staff + co-workers were a pleasant batch of folks. Had a grueling double shift on Friday, however I was off until Sunday afternoon once that was done.
Always a rare treat to hang out with Voodoo & Son, BoxOfEyes and Mr. & Mrs. FaFa. Those folks know how to have Fun & Music and nothing but Fun & Music.
AlanR -- wish I had known you were there. I would have made a point of meeting up for a Beer and BBQ sandwich. Maybe next time !!
