Bonnaroo 2009, my fifth year, and spectacular as ever. The variety - From Bruce Springsteen to Snoop Dog, Jimmy Buffet to Public Enemy and Al Green to The Del McCoury Band. If you liked music, it was there. The problem, as always, was who to go see...over 100 acts on seven stages, from noon to dawn. Click on the hyperlinks to see some photos. You can see some of the musical acts I photographed----- HERE.

It's usually hot, real hot, and sometimes mixed with rain. Our campground was a little crowded, but a nice way to make new friends----- PHOTOS -----Thursday night we were under a "tornado warning" but luckily only had high winds and some rain. The mud created creeks, mudbogs and some puddles that would suck the shoes off your feet. -----photo1, photo2

I attended a press conference and felt like I'd travelled into the Twilight Zone - Seeing Kim Cho (comedian) Robyn Hitchcock (Indie Rocker) Brett Dennen, Bobby Kennedy Jr, Jimmy Buffett and ILO. Topics ranged from the environment and stripping the mountains of Appalachia, to recycling and Rock and Roll. PHOTO Bobby Kennedy took time to pose for photos. Here's one of him and Logan Snyder ----- PHOTO

When at Bonnaroo take the time to ride the Ferris Wheel PHOTO, day or night and get a view of the camping areas from the sky. PHOTOS

I saw a giant smoke rings in the sky. photo so I followed it to its source photo .
