Subject: RE: Springhill MusicFest 1999
Tony, That would be a great way to spend a summer, wouldn't it? For years I've been envious of Lunenburg and it's wonderful Folk Festival, and have even made the long drive down there to enjoy the show. Then Canso developed the Stan Rogers Folk Festival, and I began to wonder what was wrong with northern Nova Scotia...why couldn't something like that take place in this region? And here we are...with a full-featured festival in my own back yard...and with the size of Springhill, it's almost in everybody's back yard. The best news, however, is that this is to become an annual event. If the Lunenburg and Canso experiences are any indication, we can only count on this one getting better each year. Enjoy the music,

Dan
