More Additions Announced on the 11th...

[spewlanders]

Seems a bit odd that people are expressing their distaste for our British brethren for expressing his distaste for an artist, no?

and since we're talking about it..... has AK really made a bluegrass album in YEARS?  The most accurate description i've heard of her music lately is "Mid-America Adult Contemporary".  Sound pretty accurate to my ears anyway.   Notice that i didn't say it was good or bad.  Just is what it is..... like most music.

I've seen a couple of the bands/artists that i would be excited about jabbed at a bit.  Doesn't bother me at all.... probably shouldn't bother anyone else either.  Maybe there is a general 'lightening up' needed?

In conclusion, I can't be alone in thinking that there should be some sort of public safety protocol in place to alert all festigoers that Taylor Swift as been mention twice in this thread.  Maybe a color coded hierarchy of danger levels like our national threat awareness system?  If we don't address this now then we're just asking to be exposed to the Jonas Brothers or Hannah Montana.

Everybody smile

I for one will raise an Imperial Pint in hopes that everybody gets at least a few artists on the schedule that they're really excited about.  Sure, there are some that i'm still hoping for but i've already gotten enough of my hopes met.

peace

Spewlanders..........I am not worthy! your wisdom is great. It seems to us (Jo and I ) that if it were not for a couple of breaks in the music we arent crazy about. we may never have the chance to explore Telluride and its surrounding area. If we have these breaks we can meet others and perhaps sneak a couple of Rons homebrews!  Everyone needs to lighten up on the deal. Go see who you want to, go do other things when there is someone playing your not crazy about. However, keep your mind and spirit open to giving all music a chance. What are you, a republican?

[Auntie Hope]

In this mornings newsletter, it said that there will be some very exciting new additions on the 11th.  Any predictions?

Ooh, ooh, ooh - Special Consensus, Bluegrass etc, The Chapmans & Rhonda Vincent please.

There, I asked nicely.
 

YES!!! I would LOVE to see Ashby Frank on Mando in Telluride!!!!!!!!!!!

Auntie Hope 

Yup, he makes a pretty good job of it but I also love Justin Carbone's guitar playing .. and Mr Cahill's b*njo in fact - there isn't a weak link in the band.... Josie's Reel - Wow!!

They're at Bean Blossom just before TBF - can you make it happen Auntie?

 

No need. I live in Nashville, Sugar.

I guess my point didn't come across as I would have liked it to...

I am also british and was just generally irritated at Mark for shooting down other people's wishes to see Alison Krauss at Telluride, again! he did it to me the last time I expressed the wish and I don't like that much negative atmosphere surrounding her name! 

Once again, and I think someone else said this before me on this thread, surely it's about people expressing what they would like to see, not denigrating the votes of other people?!?
Growing up as a Bluegrass fan in Europe certainly meant that I never had much support in my musical tastes, so I don't expect to get that kind of attitude on a bluegrass forum!

So I just wanted to call for a minimum of respect for bluegrass in general and other people's tastes in particular: I'm certainly not going to shout about who I wish wouldn't come to TBF...
As you say, I'll just go and enjoy the countryside if the music doesn't appeal to my ears...
I'm looking forward to Telluride immensely, and I hope everyone gets a bit of what they'd like to see, I hope I'll see old favorites and discover new treats... 

So yes, lets lighten up, I am already as light as a feather, it's my deadpan british sense of humor that doesn't necessarily translate in writing 

[mark2010]

Ah well I guess I will just have to stop amusing myself by seeing how really wound up poeple can get by a little japing. Bad habit I know.
