Merlefest 2009 - Sunday
Sunday at Merlefest was hot and dry. The preliminary announced attendance for the week was above 70,000 and there were a couple of record setting days. Not bad for a deep economic decline. Merlefest seemed to be a worry-free zone for four days, which had to supply some renewal for people facing difficult times. I'll be writing a much more detailed assessment of the entire festival soon. Look for it on Wednesday or Thursday. For now, pictures of the last day will have to do. Before going to the pics, however, I want to give special thanks to Ken and Bobbie Glass and their staff at Dine-n-Dash at 1299 Collegiate Avenue on the access road to the Merlefest grounds. They serve fine breakfasts, lunches, and frozen yogurt specialities as well as fancy coffees. The best thing, for us, is that they have a very good internet connection and encourage customers to settle in and do their work. Enjoy the food, the hosts, and the internet!

Wonderful pics, Ted; I almost feel as though we had been there, which eases the pain. Confession: this old would-be lawyer got misty eyed seeing Laura do the shape note gig. To go from there down to Creekside for Doc and the NBB was always THE highlight of the weekend.

Doc's Health --- during the Doc-NBB set, Doc mentioned being very sick and on morphine(and nearing dying) sometime during the last year. Does anyone know the background on this?
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Ted! Thanks for sharing these. Wow, I wish was there!
