Folks, Christopher and I just got back from playing music at the Will McLean Folk Festival, which is held each year at the Withlacoochee Bluegrass campground, north of Tampa, Florida. This festival is a very special opportunity for us to play music for nice crowds, and also to spend a lot of time picking in the campground.
We arrived on Friday afternoon, and did quite a bit of relaxed, “warm-up” picking that day and evening. Our first show was on Saturday afternoon, and we had a good attentive audience. They liked our music, and we sold a lot of CDs! (This is very important at a folk festival, where most of our gas money often comes from our CD sales.) Then after more good picking that night, we played a set on the main stage at 1:30 Sunday afternoon, and got a great reception (and sold more CDs). We’re supposed to have video coming of this set, and I’ll post some of our songs and tunes on YouTube when we have it!
THANK YOU to all the volunteers who help to put on this show each year. We had a great time, and we’ll be back!
Weve kinda slowed down a bit. Still remember the good old days pickin in Dave Mcowns back yard in WPB. That little offspring has really “growed” up. We still do some festivals so we probably run up on you kids somewhere. Good luck and God Bless.
