Hi Dom & Sarah:

Guest what? I will be in Bakersfield the last week of October myself.
I know Bakersfield has a lot of country music bars but I am right now trying to find a folk club right in Bakersfield that I can attend the week I am there. Will be researching it over the next few days and will send another message to you at this post.
Will you be actually staying in Bakersfield a night or two?
I will be coming up from L.A. on the bus to Bakersfield and staying at a hotel there.
I won't be golng to Big Sur or Carmel but will also get back to you about possible folk venues there. Actually I went up there to Monterey, Calif. a year ago to see Donovan in concert!

Thanks,
Lindy
