Subject: RE: Princeton BC Traditional Music Fest 20-22 Aug 2010
Friday night was a rip roaring success! Lots of people line dancing to the music of Psycho Acoustic Ceili Band (which includes a terrific English concertina player named John Gothard--who will be doing a solo concert tomorrow at 1:30.)

Tomorrow we start off with a $5 pancake breakfast from 7:30 to 9:30, and a full day of great, mostly traditional, music on two stages. I'm looking forward to our own set, plus getting to be part of the 60's Protest Songs workshop. For that one we decided to do Draft Dodger Rag (Phil Ochs), What Have They Done to The Rain (Malvina Reynolds), and an interesting Jimmy Webb song called "The Hive" (a protest against the subjugation of women in the traditional marriage and wedding ceremony).
