Subject: RE: 2007 Washington Folk Festival
Due to a minor family emergency on Sunday I didn't get there till 2:30. Caught for the first time, Flory Jagoda and her troupe doing those lovely Spanish/Bosnian/Sephardic melodies and rhythms. I think I finally "get" 7/8. There was the amazing Rapper Sword troupe complete with back-flips, a great guitar workshop, with explanations, Judy Cook (who was up against the Sunshine Skiffle Band) with her usual presence and delivery -- good harmonizing from the audience. And the Sunshine Skiffle Band itself, with not one, but TWO musical saws, closing out with a whomp! What a day. Completely different from Saturday.
