        This is a reeeaal longshot, but Cheryl and I are going camping up at Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots festival in Manchester Vermont this weekend. Anyone else? If so our campsite will be set up for jamming so let’s meet up.

        Tim O’Brien! Peter Rowan! Sam Grisman! Watchhouse! Sam Bush! And a lot of people I’ve never even heard of… it’ll be a blast – https://www.greenmountainbluegrass.com/2023-daily-schedule

          Wow, you’re lucky! I would definitely be there if I weren’t on the other side of the planet.

                GMBR (Green Mountain Bluegrass & Roots) festival was great. Good music, good food, fab location, well organized, exceptional live sound, nice people. We’ll be going back again next year.

                Standout acts for me were Mighty Poplar & Watchhouse, those two gave me the tingles. Many other good acts as well though. I had a big disappointment when I heard that my hero Tim O’Brien had to pull out due to sickness but I rallied after moping for a while.

                Didn’t get to jam in our quiet corner of the campsite but it was nice to have some time to dial-in the truss rod on my guitar and work on stuff. No pictures worth posting, Cheryl shot some vids on her phone and if she puts ’em on YouTube I’ll post a link.

                  Here’s an unpublished link, WatchHouse, song of the set before the encore. If it doesn’t work please let me know.

                  Last encore, Wildfire from the same festival in 2022, last song, goodnight.

                    Here’s the first pro video to drop from this year’s GMBR Festival, I was standing right by the cameras transfixed:
