good tunes, flye point

This morning I was listening to my favorite Friday morning radio show- on WWUH with Steve Theaker- he played a tune by Jonathan Edwards and I was immediately transported to last summer in Maine where I got to see Jonathan Edwards up close and personal at Flye Point Music Festival. Flye Point is about halfway up the coast of Maine and at the tip of a penninsula. It is a privately owned piece of property that has a large guesthouse on it: the Lookout- check out the aerial photos of it on this link!

We started in the morning and I helped park cars for a while with some friends until noon, then we jumped into the back of a pickup truck that took us down to our arranged free entrance into the festival. We walked down the lawn and could hear the music. It was a wonderful and casual atmosphere. There were several thousand people, vendors with great food, and some fun wares. It was windy and there were quite a few people flying brightly colored kites that were spectacular against the brilliant blue sky. It was such a great day, with tons of sunshine and one of the most heavenly views one can imagine. The stage was at the edge of the sea. We were all flocked around looking at the stage, and beyond across the ocean and at the many islands in the distance. The music was fabulous and I was there with my little Emmett who was having a great time dancing freely to the music. sunshine, great music, great view, and good company. loved it.
