Hey, hey, hey! You have convinced me. I shall go.Bresh will be in Juneau. Driving distance, perhaps, but not drivable. There is no road to Juneau. However, we do have a marine highway, so you can drive or walk onto a ferry at Bellingham, Washington, or Prince Rupert, BC or alternatively coming from the Alaska Highway, at Skagway or Haines, Alaska.
One reason I'm interesting in going is that I have a guitar that Merle Travis played- and liked. Travis was the Alaska Folk Festival guest artist in the early 70s. Before my time but Jamo Jamison, first owner of my Martin, has a picture of Travis playing it.
Juneau is small- about 30000 people- and Centennial Hall holds only about 1200, so it's usually possible to chat with entertainers after a concert, and I'll try.
And if the musician has time in his schedule there is usually a house party/jam after the concert. Get to meet a lot of people that way. Did I mention that Juneau is special? :)
Thanks, guys.
