I'm off to the Ottawa Folk Festival beginning Thursday evening and continuing through Sunday night. I started going five or six years ago and it's now my favorite Ontario festival.

Mudcatter Mike Regenstreif has hosted stellar workshops at many festivals and his line-up for "How Can I Keep From Singing" on Sunday afternoon at Ottawa is Odetta, Finest Kind and Tao Rodriguez-Seeger. Should be something special to get all those folks singing together.
