So, this years MerleFest highlight for me was definitely Robert Plant!!!! He closed the show out and it was awesome. I was even able to get pretty close to the stage. He still has great stage presences, and did not seem like a tired rocker that should be at home. He played a few Led Zeppelin songs, of course, and 2 songs off his record with Allison Krause. He is touring with The Band of Joy, so they played a few of their songs.
This was also the first Merlefest that Alex really got to be a part of; the little pickers part was great. There was a whole punch of free activities, painting, play-do, to name just 2. I hope to make this a tradition for him, there is so much to get from this experience: being outdoors, hearing great music, interacting with people you normally wouldn't get a chance to, plus commiserating with family and friends, and who can forget the Turkey leg and home made ice cream?
