One of my favorite T-ride experiences involved helping a seemingly lost troubadour find a home in Town Park. Louise Mosrie was wandering around TP without a clue of what she was supposed to do. She had made it to TP with a tent, a guitar, a heart full of songs and no idea of what else to expect. Paint-Can Timbo stepped up to the plate and invited her into our “Camp Mustache”. We fed her (of course we made her “sing for her supper”!), showed her around, rooted for her at Elk’s Park and became real friends.
It’s because of that great experience that I would like to volunteer Camp Mustache to adopt a troubadour! Once I get the info for our adoptee, we will reach out to them prior to the fest to offer any kind of help they may need, whether that be camping equipment, a pre-tarped campsite, a couple of meals, support at the contest or even an extra set of guitar strings.
I know others in TP have had this same type of experience, and would probably volunteer for another round. All we would need is the contact info for our adoptee when the Troub finalists are announced.
PB - how does this sound to you? Will you help us help the Troubs?
