29th Annual Music in the Mountains Bluegrass Festival

I got to head along to the 29th Annual Music in the Mountains Bluegrass Festival at Summersville Music Park in Summersville. What an amazing day. As I pulled into Summersville Music Park, I realized that there were license plates from Canada, New York, Arizona, California - THIS WAS A BIG DEAL! I got to talk to Jamie Dailey of Dailey & Vincent. Incredibly amazing talent! Then I got to talk with James King from The James King Band. He has been playing these festivals for 30 years! As the time got closer to Rhonda Vincent & the Rage taking the stage, a huge Martha White tour bus pulled in. The tour bus backed into the parking spot right beside us. It was Rhonda's tour bus! As her band emerged from the bus I got to talk with her lead singer Mickey. What a great guy! He played his Dobro guitar for me, talked about touring with Rhonda & let me in on a little secret; Rhonda's title track Destination Life off her latest cd was written by a New Zealander! Very exciting stuff. If you got the chance to check out the 29th Annual Music in the Mountains Bluegrass Festival, I hope you had a great time & I definitely know I'll be back
