I went to the Telluride Bluegrass Fest back around '80. Sam & Bela, Tony Rice, JD, Doc & Merle. Everybody had their own bands and then sat in with everybody else's band. It was an IMPRESSIVE display of talented musicians! Not too crowded either. You could walk right to the front of the stage if you wanted to. This reminds me a little of that..
Thank you! And do you have any more, please?

Was Merlefest ever this small? Were these guys ever this young?

Yup, it was that small I was there. And it was cheap, too. Seems like a 2 day pass was $15. Went to Merlefest every year from '88 to 2000.
