Rockygrass

Rockygrass was our last show for the season. Normally we would do festivals until the middle of September, ending with Blues and Brews in Telluride. However, this year we did not get accepted to Folks Festival in Lyons, which is the 3^rd week of August. So without any big shows between Rockygrass and Brews, we decided it wasn’t worth the time away from San Carlos. When we made the decision to come back to Mexico the 1^st week of August, Andy & Bev offered us the apartment in their house on the Caricol, to caretake for them until Jan, so it all worked out for the best. Besides, we were pooped after 4 shows in 5 weeks and I don’t think we could have lasted the rest of the season!

Lyons was beautiful as usual,  the weather was fantastic and the line-up was awesome. Especially Sam Bush, he had everyone "Howlin at the Moon" (it was a full moon, too) Avey flew up from Phoenix to come and play with us and we all had a good time. We got to touch base with some festival friends that I had not seen in a couple of years and Jim got to meet everyone. You can get lots of info and more pictures at the website (Rockygrass festival webpage)

Not only was this the last show of the season but it will probably be our last show as well. We felt that when we travel over the next few summers that we do not want to have to be tied to a schedule or region. You have to apply to many of these shows months ahead of time and as a result we don’t have a lot of  flexibility in our travel plans.

We put up a sign on Saturday that this was our last show and that everything was on sale. We sold everything! (except for a few of our Jackite bird kites) We even sold our EZ-Up and displays to other vendors. Packing up Monday morning was a piece of cake! (Rockygrass 2010 pictures)
