lincoln arts festival

I spent some time checking out the wares at the Lincoln Arts Festival this weekend. There were also two corners allocated for live musicians. The group pictured had a classical guitarist ripping through some classics like Beethoven's Für Elise and Mozart's Minuet in G, all nicely accompanied by a couple of bowed instruments. It was especially cool to watch him play these two songs because I played them on the piano when I was just a wee lad. His arrangements for guitar were really good, and made me wish they were selling tablature. Alas, all they had were CDs.

In the opposite corner was a band whippin' out some bluegrass and some traditional Irish songs on mandolins. They were a lot of fun to watch too.
