Mark Farner Live - 8/10/2013 Winter Park Beer Festival / Winter Park, Colorado.
An absolutely beautiful setting in this high altitude mountain town (9000 ft.) and great weather today as well!
I caught Mark's short sound check just before the drinking masses arrived.
Sound Check: Abbreviated versions of Foot Stompin' Music & Shinin' On
Mark and Lesia Farner head to the sound check
I was able to attend Mark's Meet & Greet before his great set. Mark was extremely nice and took photos and signed a few things for everyone. He also chatted with everyone for several minutes. Thank You Mr. Farner!
Mark was nice enough to sign my CD cover and sleeve
