hardly strictly blugrass

for those in the bay area, have you ever been to this event? it is happening friday thru sunday this weekend. todd snider will be playing on saturday i think. or sunday. also little feat and emmy lou harris,
steve earl and rodney crowell to name a few. this even takes place in golden gate park in san francisco.
i have never been. if you have, what was your experience? tropical troubador, i think you missed a chance to entertain thousands. and since warren hellman, a venture capitalist and blue grass fan pays for everything, this event is free to those who choose to attend.

Woah, I forgot about the HSB this year. My wife and I went last year to see Jerry Jeff and Robert Earl Keen. It was a great time, a colorful bunch of people shall we say (free concert in SF...). You can bring your own drinks. It was hard to get up close for some of the bigger shows as they were limiting the number of people for safety reasons, but with a little patience we were able to get to see everyone. I may have to take a trip out tomorrow.

[nerdboy]

Oh, and wear significant footwear for the show and maybe a change for afterwords. I remember the ground around the pot-o-johns being quite muddy. About as flip flop friendly as a cattle pen.

The Austin Lounge Lizards are great! Their song, "Jesus Loves Me But He Can't Stand You," kind of sums up where they're coming from. Sharp wit, funny lyrics, very satirical. Plus, they're great musicians and really nice people. I must admit I haven't been able to see them since they got the new fiddle and bass player. They haven't been to the Right Coast lately. But I'm sure they're as good as ever. I just love 'em. I know this gig has past but if you ever get a chance to see them, go. You won't be sorry.

Thanks for the vote of confidence!

However, I ain't famous enough yet to get invited to a festival like this. But I'm still working on it! Get a few more of your phriends to buy CDs and tell all *their* friends; that'd help.

The CHIEFTAINS ??

Oh gosh I love them.
