It sure was great.

Among many, many, other things, the skiffle band (elements thereof, with contributions by festivalgoers) held forth in the grove for about 2 hours Sunday.    Everything from "Bill Bailey" to "Sweet Mystery of Life", to "Alexander's Ragtime Band (with a verse in French.)

And those of us who stayed in the grove made the right choice, since the band's set was cut short by an electrical storm.

But at least you also had a chance another time during the program to hear Doug of the skiffle band do his mouth music (imitating muted horn, trombone, drum, banjo, sax etc---amazing stuff.)

And that's just one group on one stage during a 2-day festival on about 5 stages.
