The Story:
Bozeman's annual Sweet Pea Arts Festival is a too-well kept secret that
takes place in the rolling wooded hills of Lindley Park each summer. It was
noon on Saturday as RTT played the first of their three festival sets, two
of which took place on the smaller Family Stage that was only about 3 feet
high. About 250 people were sitting on the warm grass in the shade of large
pines as the band played, and you can clearly hear the laughter of children
and comments from the fans in this fine stage recording. One of the nice
surprises during this set was discovering that Martha's parents had showed
up for the weekend; John & Dorothy stayed towards the back of the crowd in
the shade of a large lilac bush, and more than once we were 'shushed' as our
friendly conversations grew a little 'too loud'. This intimate "hour" of
music got shortened a bit because the previous group of young dancers had
run a bit long, but it was a great way to start an entire weekend in the
park!

The Story (by Pastor Tim):
The late-afternoon sun was sliding down behind the trees of Lindley Park in
Bozeman as Reeltime played their second set of the festival on the Main
Stage. Because the play "On Golden Pond" was taking place on a nearby stage
the start of this set was also delayed, but RTT took it in stride and made
the most of their hour in front of about 2000 people sprawled in lawnchairs
and on blankets on the hillsides of the natural amphitheater. A
couple-hundred devoted dancers 'rode the (very high) rail' and gave a lot of
energy back to the musicians; the children in particular were dancing up a
storm! The setlist includes an oblique reference to a "Tater Pig" (a
hollowed-out potato steamed with a large sausage stuck through the middle of
it), and while this delicacy came up in conversation with the band on more
than one occasion during the course of the weekend, no one ever actually
admitted to eating one. The band was clearly prepared to play an encore,
and the crowd clearly expected one (just listen to the shouts at the end of
the set), but the stage manager felt the festival had to get back on
schedule and we got our second shortened set of the day. (grumble...)
Still, how can you complain when such a perfect day ends with such a
beautiful set of music?

Note: Because it was a windy evening and RTT didn't have a windscreen for
their regular single-mic, Leigh MacKenzie offered his mics & windscreens not
just for the recording but as the mic'ing for the entire PA. This is likely
the first-ever stereo-imaged recording of Reeltime Travelers, and believe me
when I say Leigh was grinning from ear to ear.

The Story (by Pastor Tim):
There we were again, gathered under the pines in front of the Family Stage
overlooking the Gallatin Valley for one last set of Reeltime music on a
perfect Sunday afternoon. The crowd was even a little larger than it had
been on Saturday afternoon, and the children were again out in force. Diane
Ferlatte & Eric Pearson, the storyteller & accompanist who'd been on the
stage before RTT (and would appear again after them), were also sitting in
the shade enjoying the music, and that ended up giving us a bonus track for
this collection as she invited Reeltime to come up and join her for a
story-song. (Look for this woman's cd's -- she's amazing!) The
long-distance Travelers were all gathered right in front of the stage and
one even joined in via cell phone. Many folks in the audience joined in on
the closing "River Of Jordan" to make the day feel just that much more
gospel-y.
