Thanks, Maeve. Glad you are still here!

I see it's Kendall's birthday. He's older than dirt! Happy Birthday, old man of the sea.

I haven't been to the Florida Folk Festival in a bunch of years, Joe. Dad is a full time job. I just can't bear the idea of putting him in nursing care or assisted living, which he is kinda beyond now. This year Arlo Guthrie is the headliner on Saturday night. It should be a great show. I am planning on trying to find respite for dad so I can go. That will be May 28th, Saturday night in White Springs, Fla.

Your tie dye shirt was from tie dye Mark Wright, wasn't it? Mark died in 2007 and I probated his estate and found his family. It was a challenge since he had money in five banks and his will was scratched on some paper. He left 43k to the Friends of Florida Folk and I gave his mother the rest of the money I could find.The tow truck driver was a crook and he managed to get Mark's truck, camper and various other items. Mark left quite a legacy. I still miss him. The FFF brings bittersweet memories of my friends who have passed.   

I have been following all the young folk singers lately. I love Tallahassee's New 76er's, and May Erlewine and Seth Bernard. I love Red Molly. Maybe I'll start a thread about the youngsters taking up the cause.
