Well, as some of you know last weekend was the annual father's day bluegrass grass festival in town. i usually shy away from crowds but do venture out to this event. the best part of the festival is the parking lot scene. small jam groups form outside RVs and tents and the music is real. liam and i went on friday as his homestudy picking group was meeting up there for some jamming. here's liam with his new mandolin he got from the Darrell Johnston Lending Library.
during the kids jamming session two old-timers joined in- they were in their 80's and 90's.
i caught some video footage before my camera ran out of batteries!if you want to see a longer video of them playing "bury me under the weeping willow" go to my youtube channel and check it out.
we had a good time but i was bummed the one band i did want to see i missed- G2, a bluegrass band from sweden. did anybody get to see them?
as you know of my obsession with taxidermy- this was the best thing i saw at the bluegrass fest- at someone's camp sight. a taxidermy chicken on a grill. can't beat that!

Hate to tell you this, but I'm seeing the eyeball searing chartreuse... maybe it will grow on me. Glad to see the chicken, though, and the bluegrass players young and old. I bet they were happy to see younguns playing their music.
The green is a little toned down. I thought the bright chartreuse was intentional, so I never said anything. It is so funny that you are a taxidermy loving vegetarian.
I'm seeing what Birdsong is seeing -- whoa Nellie is right!!!
I prefer your previous look.
okay-i lightened it again-what do you think?
I think I've got the pond-scum look you're after. I like it!
Honey, hate to tell you but even toned down it's hard on the eyeballs...
