Thursday at the Walnut Valley Festival

Walnut Valley Festival got off to a good start Thursday. Crowd was not huge Thursday, but then, it usually isnt, so its hard to tell anything based on that.
They had quiet the storm Wednesday night, but seemed ok Thursday. The "infield" at stage one is muddy, but should be dried out sometime tomorrow - Friday.
Top left is Betse Ellis, fiddle player for the Wilders, and that is all i have to say about lady fiddle players.
Next is the Wilders playing hot. Followed by Small Potatoes,  and at the bottom is the group, the Wiyos. One of their members was not able to get to the show, so they brought a dummy in to replace him. They are always a fun band.
Ill be posting more photos and such. Click on any of the photos to see a larger version.

Here is a link to a story I wrote for a website for a more general audience.
