I was acquainted with one of the ladies that started the Bluegrass Music Festival at Lexington, KY, in the mid 1970s. I attended the first festival. That was during the days of liberal freedom, burning of bras, etc., and boy did it show! I nearly put blinders on my 16-yr old son. I felt he was much too young for that kind of sex education-ha! The biggest problem the group had in producing the festival was Weather. It did rain part of the three days. They lost a bundle of money the first year, but made up for it in later years. If any of you are familiar with the McClain Family Singers-mostly gospel music. They got their big start at that first festival in Lexington. Pat O'Neal
