Clifftop 2009

As a first-timer, I set out to try to capture some sort of overview of the event, to try to convey an idea of its scope ... but quickly realized that I'd never succeed. If I was a videographer, and if I'd shot at least 5 times as much video, it might be a start. But I'm not, and I didn't, so I can only offer these few glimpses.

Essential advice: Keep it in the Kasbah if you want the best footage. That's the Cajun Tent, the NYC camp and all the alpha fiddler sects. Its the dense and urbanized region of the festival where all the weird shit happens (naked jams, unwarranted grooves, high ass swing jams, and far too much more to speak of).

The Rosin Sisters (Jan Smith, Ann Whitley, Barbara Panter-Connah) are singing Sweet Sunny South at 1:35 into the video. We got our version from the playing of Buddy Thomas.

Thanks for the overview. One of the best ways to convey it. Sorry I missed it this year but you caught my friends on video. It's even better with less rain so come back next year.

If you change "Clifftop 09" to "Clifftop 2009" it will be easier for people searching for videos from Clifftop 2009.
