Pat,

I’m glad you finally made it to Merlefest, especially considering it's practically in your backyard! wink I attended the first 7 or 8 festivals there.

You’ve made numerous comments on here about how “bluegrass” isn’t open to new ideas and they demand rigorous adherence to tradition. That hasn't been true for at least the last 20 or 25 years, … maybe longer.

Hopefully the festival was an eye opener for you. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
