Many memorable things happened at Telluride on Saturday. But looking back, heres the one that stuck with me: John Oates, the shorter, mustachioed half of the 80s supergroup Hall and Oates, played with the Sam Bush Band. The two things I Replica Audemars Piguet watches learned from this performance: 1) John Oates lives in Aspen, and 2) Maneater still brings the house down, even when backed by a banjo.In the afternoon I played fiddle on a side stage with members of the Duhks, Uncle Earl, and the Biscuit Burners.
They were kind. I held on, tried not to embarrass myself, hustled offstage when it was over. The Frames—the Irish rock band whose music is featured in the film Once—played immediately afterwards, confirming my suspicions that I had no business being there. One more thing: Telluride desperately needs to hire a stylist for all Replica Chopard watches bluegrass musicians. Im not exactly a fashionista, but some of the outfits on the main stage are ridiculous. They look like the things worn by NBA announcers, only wrinkled, and sometimes accompanied by shining white fedoras.
