My Whole Heart


That is how much I loved Telluride Bluegrass, with my whole heart. There is so much to post and write about. So, like most people who throw down for a festival, I looked at the lineup and saw some familiar names, decided it was worth the gamble. Unlike some other festival goers, I go in whole hog, I like to get there real early and just sit and take it all in. Telluride Bluegrass festival did not disappoint in the least. From 11am to 1am it was nonstop amazingness. Sometimes it was a little band that I had never heard before (like Cadillac Sky), other times it was the old standards from the likes of Alison Krauss, Jerry Douglas (with this amazing drummer, Omar Hakim), and Del McCoury Band. It was just nonstop talent and pure dedication to the intricate craft of making grass blue. I am breaking the reporting of this amazing festival in several post arranged by day. I just wanted you all to know that this was an amazing trip. Without my good friend Andrea encouraging me, and without Billy coming through in a big way, I would have missed out on one of the defining moments in my life.
