I just returned home from the twice yearly
festival near Yosemite in the High Sierras
of California. www.strawberrymusic.com
I spent the Labor day weekend (and memorial
day at the end of May) with my friends at
Camp Dung Beetle. There are dozens of
wonderful bands on several stages and
venues...the "main music meadow",
a stage by Birch Lake, an amphitheatre
where more intimate workshops are held
with the chance to ask questions of the
performers, and ther dining hall which
serves as night club, breakfast show and
young people's dance hall.
5,000 pepople attend this event in the
mountains, and tickets sell out months before
the festival.
several other catters attend....
but i only saw Ranger Roger.
we jammed and did recording sessions
in the camp ground.
