Blistered Fingers Bluegrass Festival: The Blistered Fingers Bluegrass Festival has moved to a new venue, the Litchfield Fairgrounds, which is only about 7.5 miles from our house…YeeHaw! I am in music heaven because Bluegrass is the most down-home music there is.
My friends Nicole and Gabi joined me for this special musical day. When Gabi got out of the car, she immediately picked a piece of grass that had a flower head on it, and proclaimed, “Mama, this grass is green…where is the Blue Grass?”
We were able to listen to the following bands: Wilf Clark & The Misty Mountaineers (Maine), Blue Around The Edges (Rhode Island), The Bluegrass Diamonds (New Brunswick), White Mountain Bluegrass (New Hampshire), Alecia Nugent (Louisiana), and LIttle Roy & Lizzy (Georgia / Tennessee).
My favorite performers were Wilf Clark & the Misty Mountaineers, while Nicole’s was Alecia Nugent. Three year old Gabi liked it all and was in constant motion as she danced and did somersaults all day long. Unfortunately, she needed a partner for some of her dances, so she and I spun around, and around, and around…I’m still dizzy! She is one of the cutest little girls I’ve ever met, and she was in great spirits all day long. You can’t help but fall in love with her, and I really enjoyed photographing her face as her smile really shone. Pure bliss!
