I remember coming home and hearing it from the streets! (I remember also telling him at some point that playing banko at 4am when coming drunk from a club wasn't cool). :oD<BR/>He lives in SanFran and has a band, maybe you saw him!

I could feel it.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps next year the young'un can come too, so you can stay longer? <BR/><BR/>Hi mtnhighmama,<BR/><BR/>I didn't know all of the musicians (this was just one of five stages, so you can imagine) but I just had a feeling that all of them were exceptional in their own way.<BR/><BR/>I felt especially privileged to see the two gentlemen I mentioned, obviously their ages won't let them tour and perform forever and I really felt grateful to see such masters of their music.<BR/><BR/>Hi p,<BR/><BR/>Audible sunshine, that's what first came to mind. Because it does give you that feeling when the sun is shining down on you...that happy, easy sense that all is good.<BR/><BR/>Hi phivos, <BR/><BR/>Thank you. I ended up putting the camera away and just enjoying the music.<BR/><BR/>Hi johanna,<BR/><BR/>I remember you mentioning that. I don't know too much about bluegrass and banjo music, but these performances definitely made me want to find more music to listen to.<BR/><BR/>A couple of years ago we went to see Bela Fleck and he was awesome too.<BR/><BR/>Hi a cuban in london,<BR/><BR/>I'm so glad you enjoyed this post. I tell you, for a music fiend such as yourself, you would have been in heaven to see it all. Maybe next year? <BR/><BR/>I hope you got to take a look at those steel guitar photos I sent to you. That fellow has the coolest guitar in San Francisco.<BR/><BR/>Hi julochka,<BR/><BR/>Next time...if there is a next time, stay. You'll love it.<BR/><BR/>But I can see where if you had your heart set on one thing, the contrast would be disappointing.<BR/><BR/>Hi paris parfait,<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I have NO idea how people found their bikes, and if they did, how they unlocked them and got them free of the tangle. I am not exaggerating, the photo I took was about 1/4 of the bikes I could see. <BR/><BR/>Hi christina,<BR/><BR/>I'll roll out the red carpet for you and buy you your own funnel cake.
