Heading Home From The MACC festival

Here it is.. Sunday morning and it's all over until next year (22-25 July 09 so mark your calendars).
The MACC festival thrilled thousands of people once again with music that makes sitting thru a rainstorm worth it! :)

We had a blast TRYING to bring to you live broadcasts of the fun at theh festival but the internet bugs could not be squashed enough to allow us to hook up and stream frm here. Soooo, with that we did what we could and talked with as many people that we could to tell them about the MIX! :)
We had probably over a thousand folks stop by the table asking about what we do, most with internet connections so they left with a promise to check us out and listen in.

We had several artists stop by the table also... Jamie Johnson of the Grascals spent about 15 minutes with us (be listening for the recorded interview during Julie Raye's show this week. Randy Kohrs spent almost an hour with us on Saturday afternoon, also recording an interview. We had fun with them there.
We talked with most of the rest of the artists during our time here at some point, getting some station ID recordings and trying to schedule other interviews.

Dwight McCall came by our campsite Friday night and talked for a while and even sat in and sang a song with us during our jam. Later that same night Aaron Till (AWESOME fiddle player) stopped by and sat in our jam for about and hour or so. We had a blast to say the least!

Julie and I took a ton of pictures and we promise to have them up for viewing as soon as we can.

Already making plans for next year's festival and we'll try our hardest to make sure we can broadcast live, one of the main purposes of us being there.. to bring the festivall closer to our listeners and help get the word out!

Keep checking the web page for news about future festivals where we may be at, would ove to meet up with more of our listeners and chat room visitors! And if you can only attend ONE festival next year.. make it the MACC. the proceeds go to St Judes Childrens Hospital and we ALL know how important that is!
