Merlefest 2006 photos

Our friend, Dan Miller, editor/publisher of Flatpicking Guitar Magazine, sent along some terrific photos from the recently concluded Merlefest 2006, held annually on the campus of North Wilkesboro Community College in North Carolina. Given Dan’s professional affiliation, one can understand the somewhat guitar-centric bias in the subject selection.

If you click on the thumbnail image below, you will see thumbnails for all the images Dan sent, each of which will then open as a larger image in its own window when clicked.

Thanks Dan – wish we could have been there with you!
