Rise, oh Righteous ones- the lounge is OPEN for shenanigans...

I remember that David Amram folk fest performance!

Were you there too, Bud?!!!

Yeah, every year for the last 25 or so.

And hopefully again someday...

So cool! I missed it from COVID- can't wait till this whole mess is over. Anyway, Amram was 86 back then-I talked with him a little bit- cool guy, and I think Buffy Ste- Marie was there that year too

That sounds about right for when Buffy was there. They actually put together a pretty nice virtual fest last year, but it isn't quite the same.

yeah, I almost did it, but I was kinda bummed. Hope things get better soon

go jimmy go- that hammond b3 oooweee
