Another year has come and gone for our very special McDowell Mountain Music Festival here in Scottsdale. After a disgruntled venue change from WestWorld (which lead to no camping) many festivarians were saddened by the changes. After witnessing the MMMF in its new digs, I think everyone was more than pleased with the outcome. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals brought the house down on Sunday night - - as well as 23 year old Trombone Shorty. The musical talent exuding from this stage over the weekend just left me with a good feeling.
There were more kids than ever this year, and there is nothing better than watching children rock out to some homegrown tunes! Bless those parents that decided to enliven their kids with a little culture. The MMMF is just what Scottsdale needs. One of my favorite quotes: "Children, they learn to dance before they learn there is anything that isn't music." These little boys just made my day!! The glue + glitter weren't even dry on their guitars - but they didn't care one bit!
