A festival is about fun, food, dancing, and sharing a fantastic experience with your neighbors. You shouldn't think so much about having fun and just do it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-26621448973945089582007-09-20T12:38:00.000-04:002007-09-20T12:38:00.000-04:00I never suggested people shouldn't dance.

What I ask for is mutual consideration and promoter concern for meeting the needs of those who want to dance as well as those who are past dancing or who want to watch and listen. As you can see from my post, dancers offer me a whole new world to photograph along with musicians and sleeping fans. There should be a place for all - TedTed Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948477139450253563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-70937158471834114432007-09-20T12:34:00.000-04:002007-09-20T12:34:00.000-04:00Ted...I thought Big Mon originally constructed blu...Ted...I thought Big Mon originally constructed bluegrass to be a dancing music? In fact, Mon's biggest influence as we know was Uncle Pen. Bill and Pen would play at county dances.<BR/><BR/>Regardless...I predict that dancing at bgrass festivals will become more and more common. You will continue to see the aging neo-hippies retiring from Grateful Dead and Phish concerts to the family atmosphere of the bluegrass festival.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-60904099002667724872007-09-19T10:58:00.000-04:002007-09-19T10:58:00.000-04:00Your site is quite attractive.

As a new convert to the world of bluegrass, I think dancing, jumping up and down, and moving pretty much any way you can goes along with the music. If you want to sit and listen to music without moving a muscle may I suggest Lincoln Center.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01734923944395999575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-79944818242731454132007-09-10T12:48:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:48:00.000-04:00Ted, I enjoyed your comments as well.

Dancing to the music (clogging)is there expected.<BR/><BR/>Certainly bluegrass moved into the "pure music" world as fast as it could. There will always be those who need to dance down front, just like there will always be those who feel the need to clack spoons along with the perfromers. <BR/><BR/>To the side would be best, but the spirit can sometime take over and...well, just best to go with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-33360620686052607862007-09-10T12:38:00.000-04:002007-09-10T12:38:00.000-04:00Ted~I sure enjoy your observations and this blog.I...Ted~<BR/>I sure enjoy your observations and this blog.<BR/><BR/>I love to dance at festivals and hate to block anyone's view of the stage or the performers.<BR/>For this reason I prefer to dance on the side. I grew up clogging in WVA and love to clog dance to Bluegrass Music. It's a lost art that I love as much as Bluegrass Picking.regiberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05441791495964675110noreply@blogger.com
