Miken, I'm in the group Crooked Mile. I'm the guitar player and the one with all the bad puns (there are no good ones). I ride the ferry weekday mornings with Carter Bannerman. We've a regular four piece group the plays on the upper deck (they won't allow us inside ever since that banjo player showed up). I'll pass any messages on to Carter.

I was the Stage Manager for Stewart's set and the Band Scramble. Other than eating too much, there wasn't a whole lot about this year's Folklife that stands out. Good music, good people, huge crowds, not enough time on stage, the usual.
