oh, my! too much information!!

thanks for all good wishes...
and despite some mechanical
obstacles, i was able to attend
a music festival this weekend.

www.worldfest.com
California world music festival

i worked serving food to the
musicians and checking in their
instruments to a safe keeping
space. I also got to hear
Gjallerhorn, a group of
swedish finnish musicians
and got to play nyckelharpa
for them and some others.

also got to give them my copy of
dirty linen magazine that featured
them in an article they had not yet
seen!~

life is good, and the weather
is hot hot hot...supposed to be
107 near here today....whew!

Bastille Day and Woody Guthrie's
birthday are not such bad occasions
to share a day with...

been circling the sun since 1953
and that has been for 53 years..

uphill? i had hoped it would be
a coast down hill now that i am
over the hill....thanks my friends
and please no candles...fire danger
is very high today!!

the swedish birday song says
"may you live 100 years..."
so i may be 1/2 way there now!
