Back 40 Bluegrass Fetival

Saturday morning we went to Curryville Mo to the 3rd annual Back 40 Bluegrass Festival. We left about 8 A.M. Jennine, Dan , Katlin and I. It is about 2 1/2 hours but the road was good and the time went by quickly. Jennine had been last year. Some of Dan's favorite groups were playing. It was hot in the 90's and humid. What else is new? We parked by some friends of Jeanine and Dan's and picked for a while till they wanted to go see someone on stage. We ate our picnic lunch and then went to see some of the stage show. Decided to stay and watch so they all went back for chairs and drinks. And we watched till about 4:30 when Jeanine's friends had asked us to supper. They had fixed brats and burgers and all kinds of salads. Very tasty.

This is Barry Scott and Second Wind (AKA) Mountain Faith. His whole band had left him about a month ago and these kids were filling in till he could replace them. They ranged from 15 to 20 years old and were very good. Dan had seen his band last year and said he was disappointed because his former band had been so good.
This was who we went to see IIIrd Tyme Out. And they were worth the drive. Awesome harmonies and just easy to listen to. Also really enjoyed Audie Blaylock and Redline. Just amazing harmonies! I listened to most of the show. It was non stop from 11 A.M. to 11 P.M.. Even the house bands were good. If it hadn't of been so hot it would have been perfect. There was a breeze and if you weren't moving it was tolerable. When the sun went down it was nice, but then the skeeters came out. We had fought the sweat bees all day. Was fun all the same. Didn't get home till after 2:30 but was worth it. This is the next generation playing.

Drew (11) Katlin (12) and Zack (16). They spent a lot of time playing. You could really tell they were enjoying themselves.
