Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival

On the way home, we stopped by the Wickenburg Bluegrass Festival where our friends, the Rowe Family Band, was competing.

We learned the family band placed first in the family band competition. We hoped to see Brian Rowe compete in the mandolin competition. Brian is a gifted 21-year-old musician and we had high expectations. He had won the mandolin competition the last two times he competed.

We were late getting packed up, and nearly missed his performance. We walked up just as he was performing the last of his piece. Fortunately for us, there was a tie and Brian had to perform again to break the tie.

One thing I wondered: Why on earth would they put the portapotty right behind the stage?

He placed third, which he said was the lowest he'd ever placed.
