    Seriously. What a great lineup! Wish I could have been there. @Scoredog how was your show?

    Thanks for asking! Our show, well from our perspective or an audience perspective it is difficult to tell. We had a lot of great feedback but of course no one comes up to you afterwards and tells you "you suck". Judging from the applause and a standing ovation (or they were getting up to use the bathroom) it went very well. I think from us as players we felt we did not show our best but as a band unit we executed pretty well. Overall the whole week was a fantastic experience and at my age getting to have those is pretty special, I don't take it for granted.

    Here is the end clip of our 2nd song. We didn't get any footage except this...:(. We did get the audio for the entire show. There are really good moments and a few head scratchers. I had a chance to be in the final jam on Sunday but before that had a private jam with Robin and Angelo, that was pretty cool. Lost my wedding ring at the end of the show for like 2 hrs but Serge found it...phew!

    Highlights

    Angelo and trio were great...Sam Farthing, I can't think of an American player outside of Henry Acker who is playing as well. Robin was super smooth. Clarinet Marmalade put on a great show though I did not catch a lot of it as we had just finished. Aurore Voile was excellent! That is what I saw. Lots of great jams...lots of fun.


    I want to add the 2nd stage DFNW has added is a terrific idea. Bands get to play outdoors before the main stage acts. Lots of players get a chance to perform, again just a terrific idea to get more people involved. I have played it last two years and now DFNW can claim bands who play the 2nd stage can make it to the main stage.
