The first evening was quite good. Saw the Wailing Jennies (3 young women from Winnipeg), and they were great. Also saw Gord Downie (of the Tragically Hip), whose material I was almost completely unfamiliar with, and he did some pretty interesting stuff. It's hardly folk, but it is good. He and his talented band also did a cover of the Dylan song "If You Gotta Go, Go Now", in suitably raucous fashion.

Now don't fall all over yourselves posting to this Mariposa thread, people! We don't want to consume too much bandwidth discussing music when we could go on and on about William Shatner and stuff like that...do we? :-)
