Did everyone have a good time? We brought the kids for a few hours on Sunday, which entailed standing at the edge of the crowd most of the time. It was exhausting, but we got to hear some good stuff. Little Son is still talking about the Dancing Feet workshop. It was nice to see that the Scottish and French Canadian blood is strong in both offspring; they were fascinated by the stepdancing. It really was a contagious performance! I enjoyed the joint concert with Eddie From Ohio and Matapat; they melded together and did some fine stuff near the end. In fact, that was probably the most enjoyable aspect of the festival: seeing the interaction between the "older" and "younger" performers. I think my favorite part of all was the primo performance Louis Killen gave in the Whaling Museum Theater. Louis was in fine form and the audience was very attentive. I don't think I've ever seen so many bowed heads (in classic listening pose) outside of a church. :-) It was also fun to watch Ray Fisher's enthusiastic enjoyment of the performance.
