Pat,

As you already know, I’ve been to Merlefest at least 6 or 8 times, mostly in the earlier years of the festival. The lineups are always stellar. I’ve played in the guitar contest there a few times too.

One year they had a stage set up for anyone who wanted to jam and we played there for hours with a huge variety of people. A banjo player that joined us was crazy good and he could play every banjo style from Earl Scruggs to Bela Fleck. Not to mention that he could fingerpick a guitar like a pro. We were still playing after the last show was over.

I wish I could make it down but I’ve got too much work to do here at the cabin this year.

I will take you up on your generous offer at some point but not this year. I’d advise catching as many of Sierra Hull's shows as you can.

Enjoy, my friend.
