I need to hire you for some digital photography instruction, because I can never get such amazing stuff at Merlefest. Perhaps my laziness has something to do with that, but I would at least treat you to coffee and a great meal in Aiken, SC, for a few pointers. BTW, the Aiken Bluegrass Festival runs May 12 and 14 in this beautiful city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-17030612545634866552011-05-08T16:23:00.560-04:002011-05-08T16:23:00.560-04:00Thank you for the great pictures and comments.

Some groups were extremely loud, especially the base. So much so, that it distorted the music and ear protection didn't help! The decibel reading must have been at a dangerous level. Our hearing is precious and many headed for the exit as it was very uncomfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-16368180444074235652011-05-03T11:35:41.427-04:002011-05-03T11:35:41.427-04:00I agree that Friday night was loud, but was no lou...I agree that Friday night was loud, but was no louder than Robert Plant.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-89659502860851818412011-05-03T11:33:55.129-04:002011-05-03T11:33:55.129-04:00I agree that Friday night was loud, but I also tho...I agree that Friday night was loud, but I also thought Robert Plant was loud.

Merlefest is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit charity and all proceeds go to Wilkes Community College. Over the years, millions of dollars have gone to help build and expand the college. I believe most of this information can be found on the Merlefest web site.Ted Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12948477139450253563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-54653792364293583842011-05-02T20:53:21.586-04:002011-05-02T20:53:21.586-04:00I wonder who is now the producer of this surely mi...I wonder who is now the producer of this surely million-dollar event, and where do the profits go?<br /><br />coelhoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211910878271447535.post-2960466865875011302011-05-02T16:10:41.341-04:002011-05-02T16:10:41.341-04:00Fine job, Ted, today and throughout M-fest.

We who have been privileged to hear his music will never forget the man nor the music. But let's think positively.
