Glad to hear the Revival is still doing well, EBarnacle. My mother (Angela Magill) was president of Clearwater Pete Seeger first proposed the idea, and she supported him when he brought the idea before the board.

I am now living out of state (in Virginia), so have not attended a Revival in many years. But I have fond memories of the event, and of the people I've met up with there (and the good food! ;-)). As far as I am concerned, the Revival isn't so much about "folk music" as it is about the living culture and heritage of the Hudson and its people. This includes music (of all genres) as well as politics, art, and good, old community feeling. Whatever brings the people together is true to its spirit.
