Ted Lehmann does Merlefest

Monster mandolin jam at Merlefest 2009 - photo by Ted LehmannOur friend Ted Lehmann spent last week at Merlefest, and provides some excellent reporting on his web site – along with dozens of photos of the performers, the attendees and the overall vibe.

The festival has reported that more than 70,000 people had been on site for the event through last Saturday, and updated attendance totals are expected soon for the full four days.

Ted also attended the Merlefest Jam Camp, and has many photos from there as well.

Be sure to visit his site repeatedly over the next few days, as he is still posting new photos and commentary while he decompresses from the trip.

Ted has the best pics and great text for sure. Hope y’all will come over and read my account too. My writing gig is physician bluegrass fiction, but my MerleFest post is semi-factual.
