12 Aug 08 - 07:18 PM (#2412043) Subject: Farm Fest something different From: Cap't Bob I'll be heading to Farm Fest this weekend for a rather different type of festival. Lots of parking lot picking and a rather interesting way of running the Main Stage. You sort of make your own festival. Website for Farm Fest: http://www.farm-fest.com/ Mudcat member "leftydee" will be there with his great band from Detroit "The Motor City Sidestrokers" Check them out at: http://www.myspace.com/motorcitysidestrokers I will be there with the ultimate Festival vehicle ~ a 1952 Ford F1. If you want to take a look at this wonderful vehicle scroll down on the Farm Fest webpage until you come to a series of photos. The bus is the third from the bottom. Any Mudcat members that show up at the bus can earn a free diploma from the Posey Lake Akademy of Musicology. Pass a simple one question, test (multiple choice) and you will earn a PHD from the Akademy. The BUMMER ~ O.K. We'er located back in the sticks in north east lower Michigan. Way to far for most ~ but at least you can dream. Cap't Bob |

I spent a good part of the day getting the Old Bus loaded and ready for the trip. Only 45 miles but in a 1952 bus it seems like quite a distance. Hard to decide on which instruments to take but finally ended up with my Vega Long neck banjo, Larrivee parlor guitar, a couple of homemade ukes and some pennywhistles. Heading out tomorrow morning which will give me almost 5 days at the festival. Cap't Bob |
