Hi
we spent the weekend @ a folk music festival in rural Northern Illinois. I posted some photos to flickr.com/photos/magtimmag, if you’d like to see what singing, playing, and sleeping in a cow pasture is like.
I will blog about it later….
Hi
we are getting ready for our camping trip to the Willow Folk Festival, in Northern Illinois on Friday. It’ll be a great weekend of music, friends, fires, and fun.
We found the tent, the shady thing, the inflatable mattress, and the chairs for sitting while jamming. We grilled the food tonight, ‘cuz we found that it’s easier to cook & freeze it now, rather than cook from scratch there. Go figure.
New strings on the guitars tomorrow, so they can stretch out before Friday evening, & then, load up the car. It’ll fit, it’ll fit, it’ll fit. Good thing we have a Vue to pile it all in. Last year, we had a storm around 2am on Sunday. A nasty assed storm that pretzeled several tents, shade things, and general mayhem. We were home by 4am. No sense setting it all back up. Hopefully, nothing like that this year.
Can’t wait!!!!!
There’ll be photos & videos later..
Hi
Maggie has another great post over @ our vox blog. magster.vox.com. It’s about a great weekend of music, camping, friends, and cooking out. Check it out, if you want.
Hi
we’re celebrating our independence today. It’s a metaphor, of sorts, since we are dependent on other countries for oil, which makes us a second rate county with no power.
But that’s another post.
Today we are enjoying summers pleasures of sun, food, friends, fun, and life in general in the usa.
The company I work for is directly across the river in town from the launch site for the fireworks. Can’t have a better seat. We bring a dish to pass, guitars, friends, and an anticipation for the later festivities. Things blow up directly over us, in wonderful colors and sounds.
A good way to celebrate and start a vacation.
guitar and marionetteThis is sort of a Topo Gigo kinda thing from the 60′s. It’s funny, in an odd sort of way. . .
HI
we’re gonna go see Arlo Guthrie tonight @ the Coronado Theatre. Should be an interesting evening. 
Here is a man who performed @ the original Woodstock, not the reruns.
He’s a good storyteller, and musician, with a humble demeanor.
Let you know how it was. . ..
Since the title of my blog is what my friends call me, I should mention that I did get a new guitar last week. It’s a Larrivee LSV 11. Someone won it from a guitar magazine, and didn’t care for it for some strange reason. They traded it in for a Taylor. I’ve had two Taylors, and my wife has a Taylor, but, my first love is the Larrivee brand. The Larrivee couldn’t be sold for new, since it was technically not, so I got it for a used price. I love it. . .
