I have attended the last three KFF's and thoroughly enjoyed each one despite the obvious pitfalls - heat, thunderstorms, cold showers, lack of sleep, etc. I live in Austin so it's in the neighborhood. I have auditioned for the New Folk competition without success but I have enjoyed and been impressed by most everyone who was chosen to perform. As a lifelong musician Kerrville is the last place I feel exploited.

When you arrive there is a sign that says simply "welcome home" - a more appropriate sentiment I couldn't imagine. If you're interested several folks (including myself) have posted pages about our time there - you can find them here: http://www.itcanbethiswayalways.com/ I invite you all to check it out.
