I'll be heading to Farm Fest this weekend for a rather different type of festival. Lots of parking lot picking and a rather interesting way of running the Main Stage. You sort of make your own festival.   Website for Farm Fest:

       Mudcat member "leftydee" will be there with his great band from Detroit "The Motor City Sidestrokers" Check them out at:

       I will be there with the ultimate Festival vehicle ~ a 1952 Ford F1. If you want to take a look at this wonderful vehicle scroll down on the Farm Fest webpage until you come to a series of photos. The bus is the third from the bottom.

       Any Mudcat members that show up at the bus can earn a free diploma from the Posey Lake Akademy of Musicology. Pass a simple one question, test (multiple choice) and you will earn a PHD from the Akademy.

       The BUMMER ~ O.K. We'er located back in the sticks in north east lower Michigan. Way to far for most ~ but at least you can dream.
