This came out pretty nice. There are moments when the host's voice crackles a bit - that's the PA, not me. There are plenty of moments when the mics need to be ironed out a bit. That aside, this is a wonderful listen - Mangum & Company is described as a gospel brass "shout band," and Doyle Lawson And Quicksilver is a bluegrass group, who appeared here in an acapella form. Both sets of artists discuss their backgrounds, in relation to religion and music, and how they put them together. It was a very enjoyable way to spend Saturday at noontime on the patio of the Lowell Police Station. I recorded from a little to the right (our left) of the stage. I think the horns sound a little loud, but the levels tell me that it's not my fault. It was a touch breezy, too. I appreciated this "workshop" set, because it ended up being the only time I saw either group over the weekend. I took a bunch of cellphone photos - they give you a good idea of where I was recording from. There will be more Lowell Folk Festival sets to come.

Enjoy!
