I agree 100% with you, Archie!!!  I hope that HBF continue to come back to
Merlefest.  I think they honestly add a great deal *(all positive)* to the
festival.  I greatly enjoyed their show, and have always enjoyed their
music, and Merlefest never has been, and never needs to be a "straight
bluegrass" festival, b/c if it was, it would greatly ruin the essence of the
festival that we love so much.  *(Or at least, that's my thoughts on it!!)

I can easily imagine that.  I wish I'd have been there.

I've been a fan of theirs since their first major album and Darius Rucker
(sorry - there ain't no Hootie in the band) is a whale of a singer.  Always
thought their stuff would go over nicely in bluegrass.

Heaven knows they don't need to play Merlefest or any other bluegrass
festival for the money.  Or for the warm, respectful treatment they get from
many of the hardcore bluegrass fans.  My guess is that they've got a
profound love of the music that maybe, just maybe, we ought to be grateful
for.
