Well alrighty then I am now ready to officially get in the Fest mode. Just finished a huge task at work and this girl is done.

LETS DO THIS THING. OK before I pack whats up?

Are you dry or wet ? How does the weather look, last I checked it called for 80 mid week

The sound of the river is knockin at my door
pulling me in, begging for more
I want to walk away but I hear that roar
of that mighty river, opening the door
A splash and kick a trickle or 2
I have to hang my feet in the river for just a few. :flower

Im not cutting off my wrist band but I think I need to even out this very strange tan :lol :lol :lol :lol :medal

Thankful I got to sit for a 4 day lawn chair rocket ride. Still smiling :flower

A lot of drums and electric this year… :rolleyes

WARREN HAYNES and GOVT MULE!!!

just sayin :lol :flower

Neil Young. It is time :medal He is a man with purpose and his lyrics are so true and few. Man he just knocks my socks off. His writing is just outstanding and direct and simple. Like Dylan to me. :medal

That moon! Pure inspiration. I had a dream Ferg shaved off all his hair and looked all sexy and 007ish :lol…

That stupid moon :lol :wave

RGA today!!! Lucky ducks.

If I were there I would ask Sarah, Claire and Frank S. to write a song about guns. This topic is so hot and controversial. I know Frank and I disagree as well. I would love to be in good company and skilled song writing. Gosh I feel as if I should be there just to jab Frank on that topic. :cheers Controversy spars intellect :medal.

Smokin Mandolin player and song writer as well.

It is going to be an amazing week at RGA! :medal

If guns were buckets of sun
I would shine a bright light on the whole universe and make sure no one ever gets hurt
if guns were buckets of sun :flower

Look up, look up!!! That full moon is just gorgeous! A Blue moon(2 in 1 month). Inspiration pure inspiration. :flower Beautiful.

The Blues and Bluegrass…heres the thing, when you write words you can send them to any genera. I wrote a Blues tune and then recorded it and after review, it sounds much better as a Bluegrass song. Words, my songs just words and the genre changes from Folk to Blues to Bluegrass.

Yikes! :lol

my sister whom I have not shared time with in a long while will be here to visit with her beautiful husband and I was thinking how wonderful to share with her some of the more important things in my life in just 1 short week. I want to bring her to Sunday Folk fest. It is the most perfect way for me to share. I hope there are 3 Sunday tickets. She plays the guitar and I know she will be so inspired by all of you. :medal

I must say after review of the lineup it is hard to just pick one day for me. :medal :medal

The most beautiful thing about a song, is it holds memories.

My sister and I have not seen each other in years and last night we sang songs from our youth and each song held a memory and would make us tear.

So many memories locked in a song.

Steve and Brian on stage has got to be the #1 showcase this Fest season. You go ! It is so exceptional that the staff and owners are as in love with music as all of us that attend. Inspired by you. Crazy good PBG! :medal :medal :medal

I want to hear more!!!

Feet I have just two
Then why o why so many shoes.
I never wear mine and it feels so good
the earth under my feet
my souls dug in :wink:

I am finishing a song this morning and trying to create a bridge and it sounds really pretty. I can see I have improved and even though I do not get to dedicate myself fully to this craft it is very rewarding to see myself grow and still want to explore the craft of music, I am reminded however slight today that people can be very critical about the smallest detail and I am still learning how to ingest that, hold that. feel that and be ok with it. Not just ok, unaffected and cool still being able to deliver. I think a thick skin is required to be in front of a crowd of people.

Still workin on that one…

:wave THAT MOON!!! :cheers

Singing and playing and singing and playing the same songs over and over and you would think that it gets boring but I noticed each time it sounds much cleaner then the time before,
I can play this song forever till it sparkles with clarity :medal

I use t think folks on tour how do they do the same tunes and never get bored. Now I know.

I am so happy to be lucky enough to be enrolled in a writing class at RGA this summer :medal Thank you! :flower

Tisk tisk :thumbsup totally uncalled for. Life is for livin and love is for givin. Buckets of sun :flower
