Thread Name: Has anyone been to Kerrville?
Subject: RE: Has anyone been to Kerrville?
Sorry no Small Potatoes.

Angus Finnan, one of the Newfolk winners impressed me very much. One of the reasons I went there was because the place is promenent in Stan Roger's Biography "An Unfinished Conversation" Kerrville was his last gig and some unspecified Kerrville campfire was the last place he played and sang. Angus's songs reminded me of Stan's, he was the only artist I saw in that type of "traditional" mold. He is quite good.

I met many fine writers and performers. Lucie Blue Trembley was one of the instructors and a featured performer. She is a delight, as is her mother who she had along for the trip.

Anne Fenney (spell?) was a lot of fun in an unamplified late night concert,AND she said a nice thing about one of my songs. Also the "Road Dog Diva's were very entertaining at campfires and impromptu concerts throughout. They are a force to be reckoned with.

Steve Gillette and Cindy Mangson, put on a fine, democratic show, and Steve's "Texas and Tennesee" song writer's circle was a highlight for me.

And many many more.
