"Hell, I'm getting to where I'm even too old to Roger the Jester"

LOL

Midchuck, it won't be the same without you & you "camp review" either"

I'm planning & hoping that this is the one I can make,
It's been yrs (ever since my 2 kids thought it was fun to say up & out without letting us know there whereabouts untill we found them out at 4 in AM) since we were last there, way to long. But this yr is such a great line up.

My real fav's are
Peggy Seeger(it's been maybe 25 yrs since I've caught her in a concert)

Jez Lowe (he was there the last time & my daughter fell in love,,,,, with his songs

Louis Killen (haven't caught him since he re-emigrated (?))

John Roberts & Tony Barrand (well I caught John all the time & I still think he's cute but I don't get to hear him & Tony together any more)

Michael Cooney (I haven't heard him in as long a time as Peggy)"SLAP"

Nanne & Ankie & the Hudson Crew (I don't know about the Hudson Crew but if they're with Nanne & Ankie they have to be top notch)

George Ward (another local that I get to hear often but each time is
such a pleasure that it's better than the last)

Josh White Jr. (having never heard him live, this will be a great 1st)

Now my absolute FAV here is Elizabeth LaPrelle, this young mountain kid (I didn't say goat Sandy:) doesn't have the name recognition as one of her mentors Ginny Hawker nor the exposure & fan base of Hazel Dickens or Alice Gerrard but Elizabeth has in her youth already pasted most of her elders in capturing the old singers styles when it comes to the music of the mountains. She's the singing sister to the Mountain Whippoorwill famed in prose. Over the yrs I've been listening to Elizabeth since she was a mid teen, she may not even be a teen anymore, at different gatherings & I'd say that she alone is worth taking in this festival.
I hope to see you all there
