My wife and I enjoyed a fun afternoon of #LiveMusic at the #BlueRidgeCommunityFarm Summer Concert Series.
The venue was a natural grassy amphitheater fronting a wooded copse.
I'll post my audio recording of the Chicago Farmer & the Fieldnotes set to the Live Music Archive tomorrow.
Toastmistress Sarah Marie Dillard opened with a short set. God Morning Bedlam were the second on the schedule Mama Said String Band were the third group. Headliners Chicago Farmer & The Fieldnotyes

Up on the hill where they do the boogie
(Do-do-do-do-do-do-do the boogie)
I wonder what they're doin' when they do-do the boogie
And I wonder what I'm doin' here
--John Hartford

Yesterday's show took place on a hillside amidst the cornstalks and trees. There was no cell phone service, so I couldn't live Tweet.
Here is a thread of some of the photos I took.
