A night at the Bluegrass Festival

Well, the boys made it back from their overnight camp-out in one piece yesterday. Sounds like they had a blast! They made spaghetti for dinner over the campfire, roasted marshmallows and told scary stories late at night. Drew lost a tooth on the trip and then he literally lost the tooth somewhere on the camp-out. We THINK the tooth fairy will still come here to our house, but Drew wrote her a note to explain the circumstances just to be safe. We'll see on that one.

Di and I went to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival last night. We got there in time to see Emmylou Harris and Counting Crows play. It was truly incredible to see a show in Town Park in the valley.

Counting Crows played a great set. If memory serves me correct, the originals they played were:

• Mr. Jones
• If I Could Give All My Love (Richard Manuel is dead)
• American Girls
• Rain King/Raining in Baltimore
• Hard Candy
• Have You Seen Me Lately
• Hanginaround
• Mrs. Potter's Lullaby
  
• A Long December
• Miami

The absolute highlight was their cover of Madonna's "Borderline" sounding not too much unlike Neil Young. I laughed my way through nearly the whole song.
