Wickenburg is a small town that lies to the North West of Phoenix, also just East of Quartzite, it doesn't appear to have any natural attractions, but it fights hard to get people to come to the town. This weekend it has its 35th annual bluegrass festival. It is housed on the rodeo ground, which has a lot of sand. We are placed just outside the main arena, which is where performances take place. The festival is a combination of professional acts and competition for instruments and singers. Top of the list this year is the Dry Branch Fire Squad, sort of hokey band from Kentucky, interesting lead vocalist/mandolin player who has lots of homespun humour and stories.
We have spent sometime playing music with our friend Sandy, who is staying with us, but not felt like joining in jams on the campground - maybe tonight.
