Bolded artists of special interest were subjectively selected by me :)
Going by last year's weekend fest, there's sure to be some other good acts. Not sure if we are going, as I'm not sure what's up this weekend. But I figured, send along the info for others :)

. . . 6:00 - 6:40 Ellen Bukstel and Mindy Simmons . . .
Mindy is a long-time acquaintance from Sarasota (she's semi-famous 'round these parts)
If you go, please tell her I said hi!

I had planned on going, but then received an invitation to a wedding between two kids I once had in the youth group together. Two kids in love trumps the folk concert.

On the other hand, Grant Livingston is playing Saturday night the 17th at my synagogue. Show starts at 8 PM.

Email me if you are interested in coming.

That it does!

I really don't know whether we're going. Got a call last night from a dear friend from my old church choir; their pregnancy is showing some abnormalities in the ultrasound, not to mention several other issues that put them in a high risk category... so they are having a special service at the church this Sunday afternoon. Gotta go support, they're only halfway through the pregnancy, so unfortunately, there's a lot of time left to fret and worry.

I might try and go. I'd also like to see Alejandro Escovar in Ft. Lauderdale nut that might run a little late for me.
We'll see.

If any of my Florida folk friends show up, please say hello - Pete Hennings - Pete Price - Tom Ellis - Ray Robinette.:)

I shared a bill in Floral City with Mindy Simmons in 2000, playing with an acoustic Beatles band called Glass Onion - me, Tom Ellis, & Pete Price - but I doubt seriously she would remember me nine years later.:D

Went to the 2001 South Florida Folk Festival - worked one of the smaller stages with Tom Ellis. It was amazing.

Trish, and her hubby's name is Joaquin (sheesh that's hard to spell!). She sang alto in our old choir, and Joaquin is a chef. First kid for them... it's been hard to get to this point.

Thanks for any kind thoughts, prayers, etc. :)
