Subject: RE: Seattle Folklife Memorial Day Weekend
Reminds me of the 1972 Mariposa Folk Festival. Bob Dylan (who was not on the published list of performers) was sighted walking across the grounds. Within a few minutes, there were about 8,000 people running after him.

Several performers had the weird experience of seeing 75% of their audience get up and run off in the middle of a song, for no apparent reason.
