Thread Name: Review: hardly strictly bluegrass free festival
Subject: Review: hardly strictly bluegrass free festival
This year marks the 10th anniversary of this wonderful free festival. It is held in golden gate park in san francisco, and I hear nothing but rave reviews about it. Certainly there are some mudcats who have been to this. Please add your observations, comments, recommendations.
www.strictlybluegrass.com/ this event is a gift from billionaire
Philanthropist Warren Hellman who also plays in one of the featured bands: The Wronglers (Warren Hellman, Nate Levine, Bill Martin, Krista Martin, Colleen Browne, and Chris Hellman) Won't someone please tell me how an old timey, bluegrassy musician became a billionaire?

(It seems I heard a joke once....how a folk musician becomes a millionaire--first they start out having 2 million dollars....)
