To start this thread off, I have to say I'm not a paid employee of Poppy Mountain. I do the website because I love Poppy. You people need to get over this whole lineup thing!Poppy is Poppy. There's been great Bluegrass music every year I've at Poppy, even though that's not been a ton of years. I could have paid $50 to see the whole O'Brother thing here in Cincinnati, but I want a good time for my money! That's why I do Poppy! Yeah, I bet I could find bigger, better acts elsewhere, but it's just NOT POPPY!!!!!
Again, I'm not paid by Marty or anything, but I can say that Poppy was my introduction to Bluegrass Festivals, and I've been to a bunch, and I'll always go back, and look forward to Poppy!
On a side note, go to the "Fun Stuff" page and send a friend a Poppy Mountain ePostCard. I just set this up and it's pretty cool. Give it a try.
See you at Poppy! (Look for the www.poppymountainbluegrass.com banner and say hi).
