Fandango Sky, one from a few years ago and one from this year.
There was a Gilchrist, a Smart 10 string, Arches, a Martin D18V, Kay bass and some old fiddle all caught in that. I grabbed the Gil and the Smart and held them under me while I ran for their cases. When I got back my Martin had ice bouncing off of it left and right. A lady in the audience had grabbed a checkered tableclothe and covered the bass! The good news is it all worked out just fine, instruments tend to be resilient. My PA was slightly worse for the wear though, so we finished the set acoustically under a big tent set up for listeners. It actually turned a rather mundane art festival set into a really good time!
Here are some from the last few years: Playing my bread winner the Bass with violinist Michi Regier, and for those of you who have had the chance to meet him, Walt Kuhlman the creator of Gypsy Mandolins (who is also a great guitarist!). Then just a few more of jamming on my Crump GOM and F4 with friends... The one thing in common with them all is the fun I had with these people!

Every time I try to get a decent picture of the band all they want to do is monkey around.

Well, here we are. Weeds In The Grass. I'm the one in the pink shirt.
My daughter was a part of this group. She was the mandolin player. She died just before this was taken. The old man on the right played the mandolin this day. The older woman played harmonica, the young girl on fiddle, the other lady on banjo, me on electric guitar, young boy on bass, and then the acoustic guitar. They are all family except me. Three generations. The pink shirts was in memory of my daughter.

Oh GVD, I'm not sure I'd wanna make a monkey out of that bass player. Payback is a b*tch. And you've got one of the most attractive fiddlers in Kansas. Say it ain't so, Mike.

I've posted these band shots before in other threads so hope repetition is acceptable.

*Bob Heyer, guitarist in Togary Mt. Boys (mid 70's) and I started playing music together in 1970. We still play together today in Cabin Fever and Charlie Dynamite.

Luke Doucet on guitar,(Sarah Mclachlan Band) Richard Moody on Viola, Mira Sahay/Black on vocals. Julie Gravette on drums, Ron Tommason on guitar, Dave Marauchis on bass Kerry Krishna on mandolin. See were the name came from folks? The haircut came before the name.
