30 May 10 - 01:50 PM (#2917282) Subject: RE: Clearwater Festival From: EBarnacle Lady Hillary and I are also on the schedule to run the Sea Chantey set at the Circle of Song, both Saturday and Sunday at 11AM. Having compared the performers' roster from the 1979 festival, we have changed a lot. Many of the people from that era are no longer with us. While the purists will complain that the festival is not "pure," most of the performers have folk roots and give good sets. The big difference is that many of the performers have learned that you have to "sell soap" to make a living. Lady Hillary and I are as usual in charge of the Working Waterfront area and will usually be found there. I hope to see you there. |
