I missed Old Songs and seeing everyone this year, but have a living memory from 2005: after attending the Bob Franke songwriting workshop, I was the proud owner of a song called "The Letter" which is on our new ShoreGrass recording. (You can find us on CDBaby for a listen). Whatever he said inspired me to write a song that I think turned out pretty well, so I'm hoping he returns again next year. That was my first and only songwriting workshop so far. If you do nothing else at Old Songs, the workshops alone are worth the price of admission.

I believe I saw Bob as audience during the weekend. That's one of the cool things about Old Songs. Many performers go there, whether they are performing or not. I've seen Lui Collins, Priscilla Herdman, & various others through the years. It's just a great festival.

On Fri evening, Lady Hillary and I ran into Lou Killen in the Creature Comforts area. When we asked him about his participation, he commented that he had contacted them too late to get on as a main act but was told to show up and he would included in workshops and other events. It's nice to hear of this kind of flexibility in a planning committee.

Sounds like another great Old Songs! I've just read this thread and your description on your site, Ron. Wonderful article. Made me feel almost as though I'd been there!

I'm glad to know that Finest Kind performed Dylan's THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN'. Their rendition is superb....powerful and very moving.

I'm so glad y'all had a good time! I was sorry to miss this year - maybe next year!
