LJT Texas Music Festival 2015
Many photos on links below.
The first three days at Melody Mountain Ranch and the Larry Joe Taylor Texas Music Festival, I blogged each day’s activities and included a few photos. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday were harder to do, because of the increased population. With everybody using cell phones and internet, it was next to impossible to get online to continue with the updates. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted.
But, as you know now, there was some nasty weather during those last few days; but that was only in hour-long spells, and no really lasting damage done anywhere. On the worse of those two days, the incredible sound and stage crew got the music going again with only a 45-minute delay. And definitely nothing like the weather, including tornadoes, that have hit Oklahoma again on the very day (Wednesday, May 6) that I write this. So, ‘nuf said about the weather.
There were considerably more performers than photographed here. This festival-goer changed one personal policy… when the beer-slingers started tossing beer toward the stage, I and the other photographers in the photog pit were challenged to keep our cameras dry. I’ve met that challenge in past years, but this time just left the pit. Won’t ruin a pricey camera for what amounts to vandalism. In fairness to the security staff at the festival, they did do what they could to prevent that from happening, and probably reduced it considerably, but it was an impossible task to completely eliminate the ‘fans festive fun’. ‘nuf said about that, too.
The crews, the staff, and their combined efforts to make this photog’s stay a bit easier are so appreciated, and are the reason this photog will be returning. They are all so accommodating, and go out of their way to make it easier for me, and probably others
with some physical problems, to enjoy the festivities. Thank you, Larry Joe, Sherry, Martha, Zack, Joe, David, Keith, Aaron, Joseph, Houston, Elizabeth, Nathan, Willy, Cassandra, Ray, Kenneth, Curtis, and Scooter, and … countless others.
