Subject: RE: Rick Fielding at Mariposa
How old are you Davey? I was not terribly impressed with Stacey Earle either, not my kind of music I guess.

Mariposa was a wonderful time. I heard some great music, chatted with interesting people and learned how to coil up a microphone cords neatly and efficiently (a little more practice and I'll also do it quickly). On Sunday night I joined friends at the back of the Main Stage (I was right behind Stephen Fearing, yow!) to sing Goodnight Irene with Oscar Brand leading us for the finale. Then I stayed up until 3:30 helping out and seeing how much work is involved in taking down the main stage and loading all the equipment into trucks, a lot of work.

I am now utterly exhausted and looking forward to a quiet couple of days to wind myself back down.
