WOW! what a Merlefest! hadn't been in a very long, long time, but whoa, what a time it was! only one correction BLUEGRASSABI; Merlefest is the largest Bluegrass and Americana Music festival in the WORLD, baby!! and now i know you believe it! man, i use a lot of exclamation points!!
any way, highlihgts for me were The Duhks with their new singer and John Paul Jones sitting (actually standing and ROCKING) in with mandolin for Whole Lotta Love! WOOOOWWWW! i almost whole lotta lost it, right there. then 2hrs later i met JPJ backstage, and did not miss the opportunity to shake his hand and just pinch myself thinking, holy shit, i just met 25% of Led Zeppelin. also shook the hands of Bela Fleck, John McEuen, Ronnie McCoury.... all this made possible by the dubious Doobies, who are regular stars themselves around this festival. also highlights were pickin' with TC for the 4th set at the Addison, along with the SC GalPack. Del McCoury Band, NGDB w/ TC & SK; Tony Rice Tribute with Jerry Douglas, then Alison Kraus & Union Station, all with my best girl Carly in the 9th row! Also, midnight jam with the doobies, and a special '2nd floor' jam with my #1 jam-mate OneDoobie1 (one way out, baby!) Made it back to hotel at 4:30am and still amped- couldn't sleep til about 6.
can't wait til next year!!
Peace, Out.
