It was early in the morning, we were only hours away from having to depart the MusicFest at Steamboat. The living room furniture was in the upstairs bedroom. We were rushing to reassemble the condo based on the still photos we took on my iPhone. Time was of the essence. But we had one last performance we needed to capture. The second year of the Gondola Concert Series™.
Brandon Jenkins volunteered for this mission. It was -3 degrees. He showed up armed with hand warmers, hot coffee, and his trusty Martin. Our Twitter winner, Vicky, from Ft. Worth, happens to be a huge fan of Brandon's. She was so excited she could barely speak. So we spoke for her...in Spanish.
This Music Fog recording required nimbleness, quick thinking, and a lot of AA batteries. Hell, there wasn't even time to clean the lens. Chris took Camera 2 onto the gondola ahead of us to film the disaster from a safe distance...and to make sure "we got that B Roll." The rest of us piled into car #89. We're pretty sure that we were under the weight restriction, and safety officials didn't seem to be too concerned. The rest speaks for itself.
