Sam Bush is a separate act, notice the dot instead of a comma before his name.

Reports of some rain there in
Reports of some rain there in the chat and it went off. Who got rained out? What a bummer with that incredible lineup.
Got Taj at Strawberry. Just started.

Can't locate any Sunday
Can't locate any Sunday streams for DF. Maybe it's raining and people don't want their mics to get wet?
Chime in if you've got one.

Spoke with one Zoner this
Spoke with one Zoner this afternoon who confirmed a few Rain delays, also some Gorgeous Sunny days.
There's also an incredible Tale of a lost cel-fone and Good Samaritans reuniting owner & fone.
I couldn't understand all the details, something about Barrel-Aged Moonshine.
Sounds like it all worked out.

Hotter and wetter this year,
Hotter and wetter this year, but that didn't put much of a damper on the festivities.
Still one of the most "user-friendly" big annual multi-day music festivals around. No lines at check in to get your wristbands, no hassle to park on site, no outrageously long walks, plenty of food/beer, clean bathrooms, no visible police presence, no visible knucklehead behavior, etc.
The festival takes place at a county fairgrounds so there is a grandstand next to the main stage to duck into for shade or to escape the weather. The rain was certainly torrential at some points. A couple of acts were delayed, cut short or canceled because of the rain and lightning,

No surprise that Billy
No surprise that Billy Strings late nite was a highlight for me.
The Wood Bros, The Bros Comatose, I had not seen before & the “Blister in the Sun” to close the Comatose late night set was about the most fun you can have with your clothes on.
The rain delayed Bluegrass Congress convened during a downpour that we agreed was more comfortable than the blazing sun earlier in the day.
Sun, rain, the ensuing mud, (bring hay), more music than you can shake a leg at, and a peaceful loving vibe are all apart of one of the best festivals in the land.
Joe Craven, the MC, made a point of mentioning the thread that connects Bill Monroe and Jerry Garcia, and the recognition of that connection by Del McCoury. Rarely a set goes by without a Garcia linked tune. Many sets are up on the archive now.

Thanks for all the nice
Thanks for all the nice Photos.
Really enjoyed the scene last year. However, torrential downpours seem to be the norm.
Definitely include muck boots, extra socks & rain-wear on your check-list. Many campers selected scenic spots near the several creeks / streams but got flooded out.

I highly recommend this "civilized" festival for families and/or late night psychedelic vortexers..... just bring an umbrella

raincoat - someone tried raising an umbrella in front of me during the main stage Billy Strings set.
That did not go well, umbrella went back down quick.

(If anyone spots the festival's closing latenight set with McCourys doing a couple Dead tunes at 3 am, please post... the Loser jam went waaaaay out there in space...somewhat transcending bluegrass for a bit. I remember hearing an Other One tease)
