Chris,

I have not been in years. Things like marriage and having children put the kabosh on that. Does it still rain every year? I have some truly fond memories of the Philly Folk Fest, rain or dry. First heard Loudon Wainwright III do "Dead Skunk" there. Also saw John Prine so drunk on stage he nearly fell down trying to swat a fly. I think he's sobered up quite a bit. Tons and tons of great music every where you turn. Methinks I may be too old for such and immersion experience out in the sun.

If you see my friend, Will, tell him I said, "Hi". he never misses the Philly Festival.
