Kendall was royally pissed off last year at Old Songs. There was a Utah Phillips memorial in which Kendall, Caroline Paton and, I believe, Priscilla Herdman were told they could not take part.

If that wasn't enough I was very badly bitten by mosquitoes - got about 50 bites and I react badly to them - it was a week before I was able to get any real sleep so, in spite of the fact that I love the festival, I just can't face those damned little pests again.
