Gonna go Downtown...

Mark the date and the new place. The 39th annual Great River Folk Fest is moving downtown to the Riverside Park. Yes the same great acoustic, Americana, folk music, Arts & Crafts, and Kid's Area; and we're promising a few more surprises. See you August 22nd - 24th, 2014!

"Downtown" is copyrighted and courtesy of Greg Brown a three time performer at the fest!

If you don't know who Greg is, he has played our fest about three times and gave us permission to use the song... nice guy.

Rooty toot toot for the moon

Rooty toot toot.. Ha... Learned this because Michael Johnson was coming to the Elmaro, same place I was going to play. He actually covered the master, Greg Brown.

Simply a great interview

Daily song : Heroes : Grandmothers II

Well thanks to Ninure for a reminder that there is another great song about Grandmothers, I thought I better followup the hero post with one more for the Grandma's.... first the great song from Greg Brown Canned... "Taste a little of the Summer, Grandma put it all in Jars..."



Then the song Ninure reminded me of... I knew it covered by Claudia Schmidt, so I didn't realize that Bill Withers wrote the excellent song, "Grandma Hands."
