What an incredible kick-off session! A lot of the performers were there -- Ken Schatz, Hillary Ward, Jon & Rika, Barry & Neil, Andy Kenna, besides many of the local performers and singers from Albany, New York (Paul Schurr and his "entourage"). The energy was incredible!

After singing a couple songs, I was pretty much a social butterfly -- PR! PR! PR! -- distributing programs, etc. to people who came for the festival and those who just discovered it by accident.

That and going through Tom's diagnosis, treatment schedule, etcet etcet. with old friends and new friends alike.

Now need to wind down and get some sleep before the "REAL" start of the festival tomorrow.
