I was at Mystic last Friday. It's still there and it's still really beautiful.

The weather forecast for the Sea Music Festival weekend is good: mid-60s day to mid-50s night, sunny with only occasional, brief showers predicted.

If you love something, you need to support it. If you don't, chances are it will go away. Very obviously, this is a year when the Sea Music Festival needs to be supported. This will be a very interesting and an intimate festival that will have at least a few musical surprises, all of them for the good. For example, Hughie Jones and the Johnson Girls are mentioned above. Chances are you'll see them on-stage with Milner & Conroy on Saturday afternoon.

Importantly, the line-up indicates that this should be a very maritime-oriented event. That's a very good thing.

All the best,
Dan
