Thread Name: Old Songs Festival 2002, back from
Subject: RE: BS: Back from Old Songs
I had a great time on Friday night. Unfortunately my brother-in-law picked June 29th to get married so I had to drive back to NYC for the wedding. During the after-ceremony party my mind kept drifting back to Old Songs - thinking that Jez Lowe was probably on stage at one point, thinking that Tom Paxton and Anne Hills were on the stage at another point, etc. As I was stuck in Times Square around 12:30am I was wishing I was in the barn with Sandy & Caroline and all the wonderful music that was being shared.

I agree with some of the earlier notes that Friday night was a little slow. Bob Franke was great (could he be anything else?) and I enjoyed Quickstep! While my two left feet prevented me from dancing, I enjoyed watching the dancers who seemed to be enjoying the tunes from Spare Parts. Wonderful music!

So how many days until the 23rd Old Songs Fest?
