THE TELLURIDE FESTIVAL - "Considered one of the country's most progressive annual bluegrass festivals, the Telluride festival has grown to be a premier world event since the first one in 1974. In recent years, the festival has expanded to include musicians who play jazz, rock, country, folk, pop, world, celtic, newgrass, as well as bluegrass, sometimes blending different styles. The festival embraces the celebration of music in one of the country's most spectacular settings-San Juan Valley."

"The Telluride festival audience, called festivarians, are not only enthusiastic, but loyal, some making this event an annual vacation. The festival is limited to 10,000 people a day, and sells out a little earlier each year. Among musicians who have played the festival throughout the years are Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Tim O'Brien, Peter Rowan, Jerry Douglas, Tony Rice, John Cowan, and David Grisman. Newer regulars are Emmylou Harris, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Shawn Colvin." (From a web article by: Wayne Allard, Senator.)

These guys put the FUNK in FUNKY. Without these guys FUNKY would just be 'Y', as in, why? It's because these guys bring the FUNK. See?

IT's so cool to have this video of the Flecktones from their earliest period. Notice how close they stand to each other compared to now. Wish we could see more of them these days . . .
