Judy, I wish you could have stayed longer! There was some good music in the early days of the Festival but you get to hear some great stuff later in the week. But I am glad we got to hear you and I hope you come back soon. This is a wonderful place.

Les Amis Creole were a big hit with two concerts, workshops and an after-hours dance. They seem to have enjoyed themselves too.

By the way, last night when they came back for an encore they did something unique in my experience. Cedric Watson (the lead singer and a fantastic fiddler) led us in a rousing spiritual complete with hambone and whoops into the microphone. Neat.
