The Summer Solstice Music, Dance and Storytelling festival went off without a hitch! Having been on haitus for two years for lack of a new director, the festival returned this year (its 17th year!) with a vengeance. The focus of this festival is to learn: there were over 150 workshops each day in playing, singing, dancing, telling and related crafts as well as a performances stage, a demonstration stage and numerous craft and music booths.Go see some terrific pictures (if I do say so myself: I'm the photographer) on my website:

Sign the guestbook if you're so inclined (I'd really like it if you would). And be sure to join us for the 2000 festival!
enjoy! judy (for the California Traditional Music Society)
