Merlefest 2008







Carolina Chocolate Drops Sweeten the Night










The Man Speaks

Saturday at America's largest roots music festival was messy, to put it kindly. The rains came that morning and turned the parking fields and the festival grounds ashen gray. Still, a muddy day at Merlefest is better than any work day... ever.

Doc Rolls Along
There is so much to recall about this year's four day journey through music paradise, and I will get to that in due time. Much to recount. Much to admire. So many fine threads of memory to spin into a fine cloth to keep the spirit warm in the days and months to come. Stay tuned.

Oh, for what it's worth, photographs are by William Huggins.

Nice photos. I especially like the "old timer."

Thanks Tim. That's Ralph Stanley, one of the legends of Blue Grass. His voice is on the soundtrack of the Oh Brother Where Art Thou" film a few years ago that garnered so much attention for "roots" music.
