We usually go to Old Songs, but went to Jenny Brook last year after an absence of several years. Had great jams all weekend and then clinched the decision to return when we saw the lineup. Dan Tyminski's band -keeping busy while Alison Krauss is off with Robert Plante- and Dan Paisley -one of the very best bluegrass singers and a really nice guy who may still sell appliances for Sears when he's not making amazing music- these decided us.

Jenny Brook actually sold out camping last year, which I think was a first for them. It's not that large, and it's very down-home.

We went to Brandon several years ago and had a good time, but haven't been back. It's always the weekend right before Grey Fox, which we definitely go to every year. Brandon has a large old-time country music element, which is a nice change of pace, and some very nice folks, good atmosphere, etc. Just can't stay away from home 2 weekends in a row too often.

But we do miss Old Songs and will be back...
