I started the day with my guitar clinic. We went over ways of expanding our “bluegrass vocabulary” of guitar riffs.
Then came the kids band. I cannot tell you how proud I am of the job those kids did. Several people came up to me afterwards to tell me how good they were. They were expecting a “kids band” to be pretty sloppy. But these kids were TIGHT. I think we stood up to any of the professional bands that played that day.
Here’s a great shot of our “Special Guest Rhythm Guitar Player: Josh Matthews” playing his heart out.
Sean and I did a barn burning version of Red Haired Boy in the middle of the set.
After the show I had just enough time to eat something and then get set up for the slow jam I was leading. This photo doesn’t show the dozen or so people who were just listening to the music. But we got them to sing anyway.
It was a blast! I’ve said this a hundred times already but I’ll say it again:
I’m so proud of those kids.
