“Wicked Messenger” — Tim O’Brien and Sam Bush

I’ve long maintained a four-day pass is the least important item one procures in preparation for attending the festival.  There are more world-class headliners involved in the late-night fare (click here and here for audio examples) and the free concert series in Elks Park than most festivals book to play their mainstage.  I’ve spent entire days sleeping in my condo, so there’s more than one way to skin this cat.  Check out this mid-afternoon delight involving two of the world’s undisputed acoustic allstars tossing around a Dylan dirge on dueling mandos.  Stick around after the tune for some fun workshop banter about the old-timers’ glory days.  A nice way to spend Father’s Day in Telluride, June 19, 2005.
