Monday June 20 Recap

As you can see in the previous posts, Monday was a very exciting day for the brave ones who got up early in the morning to go meet Robert Plant at the Airport. Jessica reports Robert Plant to be a very nice person. The rest of the day was spent recovering from the long festival nights and a lot of amazed looking around at the snow that dumped on us. What an amazing place. But be warned pack clothes for all types of weather!!!
We expect the highs to be in the 70s again today.

4 day pass + 2 VIP upgrades = arm full of wrist bands

Sunday, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Day Four

The final day of the festival was an adventure. The day started off nice with lunch with the family and then some good fun listening to the music while playing in the Hoola Hoop area. While hanging out in the artist tent we got the chance to meet Bela Fleck. WOW what a great time. And then had a quick conversation with with Sam Bush. But before long the high altitude weather kicks in and rain turns to ice to snow. But in the end the snow stopped and allows Chris and Jessica to make it back to see Robert Plant and The band of Joy perform an awesome show.

The Festival was a wonderful experience. Thanks to all the Friends and Family that made it happen.

Béla Fleck "The meeting"

While hanging in in the artist tent, we ran into a legend. 

Béla Fleck!

I was so nervous I could hardly get a word out at first. 

But Bela seemed nervous about talking to people he did not know too.

Jessica broke the ice with a quick exchange. 

And this led to a nice conversation with Bela about the Flecktones return to glory with the original band members back together. 

A huge moment for Chris!!!

Just love Bela Fleck and the Flecktones

Fred, thanks for capturing the moment!

The Flecktones had an incredible show, and Béla joined many other bands during the festival to enrich the shows!

Saturday, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Day Three

Jessica and Chris started the morning off with a nice hike around the house while the Alana, Nadia, Louden, and Erica took a hike at Erica`s home  mountain trail. We made our way into town and went to see Yonder Mountain String Band, had a blast and then made it back later to see Sam Bush Band. Another great day!
