Merlefest 2009 - Friday
Friday was hot and sunny until dinner time, when a very unexpected thunder storm came through, lowering the temperature and putting a temporary halt to nearly everything. People milled around, but the sound board was at risk, so no music. It was a good thing we stayed, though, as Del McCoury came out a laid down a great set. As usual, Merlefest is all about making choices. What you see here represents the ones we make as we navigate the event. I'll post daily. If you're looking for an overview, I'll be writing more next week and posting Merlefest highlights for several weeks. There are way too many good pictures to allow me to post a lot of them just now.

Since we weren't able to go to Merlefest, the next best thing is your blog. Thanks for all the great pictures and articles (especially of Darin & Brooke). We look forward to reading your comments next week and hope to see you soon. Harold & Sharon Bess, Shelby
ReplyDeleteWow! Incredible pictures . . . not quite as good as being there, but the photos really tell the story!
ReplyDeleteHi Ted, i see my picture is on your blog on Merlfest 2009. I'm the guy with the long white beard. The Blue shirt and Straw Hat. I'm Jerry Eicher from Delta Ohio. I came down to cover the festival for our Radio Show " The Ol' Hippie Bluegrass Hour" WQTE 95.3 FM out of Adrian Mi. I got 4 interviews and over 30 promos for our show. Had a great time! Looks like you did too!
ReplyDeleteJerry - Thanks for chiming in. I like to take pictures of unusual faces at festivals. Your just fit the bill. I hope you don't mind. If you're at MACC, stop me and say hello. I'll be the guy with the big camera. - Ted
