While I'm uploading my audio recordings of yesterday's festival, here are two videos I shot.
Here is Chicago Farmer performing Indiana Line.
"There's a stand still o'er in Danville,
I be losin' more than my mind..."

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

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.
