Subject: RE: New Bedford Festival - Do Tell!
I was there just for Saturday and loved every minute of it. The Fiddler's Dream especially. That whole hour blew me away. Four women playing a mean fiddle in their own way. Lisa Gutkin from Whirligig (that I saw later), April Verch, who has her own group that I missed (darn!), Jennifer Roland, great step dancer too, and Joyce Andersen, who sings along with her fiddling. They should make a CD together, would be super to have all those different styles on one CD.

Janis Ian was really good and still a great entertainer, too. She is an EXCELLENT guitar player. Effortless but powerful.

Caught the tail end of a Blues session that was pretty impressive.

Ran into a few Mudcatters, too, so all in all it was just about perfect.
