Great photos Paul!

[MandoRebel]

Thanks, Paul. Rome is about an hour away for me so that
a doable.

Mandopete, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Keep the photos comming.

Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

110 in the shade monday at Fort Stinkindesert Natl. Monument and mandomelting facility, so tues morn I headed north toward telluride, heard they actually had a bluegrass band in the lineup thursday! stopped along the way to throw snowballs at passing cars-no, those arent the white cliffs of Dover.....

Uncle Earl on stage below more snow:

Ronnie McCoury's loar is in there somewhere!

[oldwave maker]

Bluegrass palate cleanser Ani Difranco onstage with her big gibson archtop tenor, all they needed was a dijeridoo or 2 for full telluride bluegrass stage instrumentation!

Stopped on the way home at the albuquerque folk festival, just long enough to watch Swingmaster Bob Goldstein attempt to tune his oldwave in public:

[PaulO]

As a professional photographer, I want to point out that the Loar you cannot see is not the point of this finely crafted image. How Bill framed that stage so tastefully is the true genius of this masterpiece.

Thanks for the great pics

Thanks Paul, my digital brownie camera wont do much, but the scenery was spectacular for someone coming from the very shallowest and driest end of the caucazoid tribal gene pool.
Livestreaming from the stage today on KOTO FM- Chris, Tim, and Sam, guys who can play the mandolin!

Anyone else have some Telluride pics? Mine didn't turn out so well. I would love to see some Rowan, some Hot Rize with Red Knuckles & the Trailblazers and some Telluride House Band pics.

The mandolin she plays is a Hull from Australia

Hmmm, I thought she played a Duff. Same country...

I would be very curious to see the Red Knuckles pics, too, if there are any, plus reports from folks who were at Telluride. Am I correct that Red Knuckles has not been seen since Charles Sawtelle passed away? Do tell, all ye Telluride Festivarians ...

[pjlama]

I'll give a report later when work is done, I think all my pics are of the wife and kids though. Red Knuckles was far and away the best act at Teluride this year, no kidding, sorta.

Here's a shot of Rhonda Vincent's new bus at the Turkey Track Bluegrass Festival in Arkansas. There was a lot of picken' going on there.

Great picture Mike, sorry I missed it last weekend. I am looking forward to the harvest time festival in October.

[mandopete]

Well now I've really found something that I can do worse than play mandolin and that's taking photo's. I took dozens at last weekend's Wenatchee River Bluegrass festival and to put it mildly they all stink!

I'll try to see if I can salvage at least one to contribute. FWIW the String Dusters and Cadillac Sky were phenomenal!

Yeah I wanna hear about that - who took Slade's place in the band? Did they sell any fly-swatters?

You bet! I think the line up for thaten' is a gooden'
Also the line up at the Harvest Music Festival is looking pretty wild/good this Sept. ... Left Over Salmon 2 set reunion is planned. Hot Buttered Rum and many more.
Just 15 miles North of Ozark. That one's close to home for me.

Wow! I can't believe I got that wrong. I must have been brain dead after that day.

Thanks, Paula, for the correction.

Okay, here's my lone entry (so far). #This one's from the Wenatchee River Bluegrass Festival. #Yeah, yeah, I'm the slacker with the Mandolin Cafe sweatshirt. #That's Terry playin' my Collings D-3 after he broke a string and lost the bridge pin on his D-18GE.

FWIW I like these sort of campground picking pictures. #Seems like we've seen endless pictures of the stars. #Let's see some of the "real" action...

[fredfrank]

Here's yet another picture of the stars . . . Bluegrass on the Greenbelt - a free festival in Idaho Falls, ID. I'm not sure what everyone on the right is looking at, but that's our band, New South Fork, on stage.

You know I kind of agree. I like seeing the stars and all, but the real music is the music I can make with friends and soon to be friends, in campgrounds, parking lots, front porches, and anywhere I can get some chili and corn bread.

Bill, I went to your jam at the Telluride Bakery on Saturday but missed you.
#Sutton is playing guitar for Hot Rize these days, and also played the Red Knuckles set. That set left me disappointed, it was practically verbatim of other shows.
The best set for me was Sam, Bela, Jerry, Edgar, Brian, and Luke Bullock.
Here's a campground shot. I'm playing fiddle.
