Went to Rhythm and Roots today (just for the day). Probably the last festival of the year, but I saw a lot of friends there (R&R is the sister festival of Grey Fox) including Jim, who didn’t make it to Grey Fox this year.
Jim is a very cool guy. He is the person who taught me to cook fries that first year I manned the deep fryer. He’s nearly 80 years old, never married, has no kids. He used to teach art, and is incredibly interesting to talk to. I was a bit worried after he didn’t show up at Grey Fox that his health may have deteriorated, but he’s still as good as ever.
Good bands all around this year (including the band at the top of this post), but the highlight was Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. I’ve only seen them once or twice before, and they put on a really cool show. Fantastic artists.
Also, sometime this afternoon I fell asleep in the sun and my face melted. In case you see me, I’m not really embarrassed, its just burnt.
Nice Music pick, my girlfriend knows them, and has hung out with them a bunch of times….
