One excellent thing about the Woody Guthrie Free Folk Festival was that it was still small enough to be "fresh"-- free and funloving without the social problems we find at even the most well-intentioned Rainbow Gathering or Winfield. And did you hear the Farm Couple's rendition of Hobo's Lullabye? It was haunting... So, c'mon now-- tell us who your absolute favorite was? Tom Skinner's got a really charming vocal inflection, and I wanted to hear more of Bill Erickson's hard-livin' snapshots of Okieland throughout the weekend. And how about Traci Grammer & Dave Carter? I'll be there next year, definitely. Notably not heard: That fun song (forget the name) Woody wrote about borrowing money, bought beer... got drunk... went fishing, giving the fish to the finance company.
