Due to car problems, we didn't arrive until the end of the competition, but the up-side is that was the start of Ben Prestage's set! Here are some pic and vid clips will be posted soon...when I find a hot spot that won't eat up all my phone data...it goes quickly when loading vids!
 |
| On the way! Ocala Sunset from I-75, after making 7 miles in the first half-hour of driving due to an accident. Really, how does one get in a crash on I-75 in the middle of Paynes Prairie? A 4 mile straight shot of road... |
 |
| Late sunset over Wildcat Lake in Ocala National Forest - always a nice stop... |
 |
| Yep, the big boss men are wrapping it up upon my arrival! |
 |
| The competition may be over, but the crowd is still lovin' it! |
 |
| Contact this man about sponsorships for 2015 - plans are already in the works! |
 |
| Ben Prestage - One of Florida's great artists. |
 |
| You would believe how much he offered me to wear my hat... |
 |
| Farley, Pam & JW Gilmore |
 |
| Capt Jack is in the hosue! |
 |
| Ben really held the crowd, until the hula hoopers drove everyone to the sidelines... Go figure. |
 |
| Hmmmm.... |
 |
| Ben's been working his engineering degree we see! |
 |
| JW jumps in! |
 |
| If you don't know Ben, do yourself a musical favor.... |
 |
| A true beach bar, with the only thing missing - the beach! |
 |
| Yes, they do support live music, in a big way! |
 |
| ...and don't you forget it! |
 |
| Didn't see a single one... but I think just maybe some of the patrons felt that way Monday morning! |
 |
| A "new" cigar box fiddle has been added to the Orchestra's arsenal.. Cracker tunes! |
 |
| Tune in to Capt Jack! |
 |
| This, also, is a good sign! |
 |
| Monday destination... back in the SE for a couple days before heading back north to Live Oak and Bradfordville Saturday. What a day THAT will be! |
