I hope those of you who went had as much fun as I did :-) I'll let someone else do a set list............I was too busy dancing in the back and eavesdropping to see what people were saying about her set to write it down, but I'll tell you all that she did a great job as always.........alot of people there already knew her music but I heard alot of positive comments from people who'd never seen her before. Most of the other acts were more local or at least play the Boston area alot. It was the first year for this particular festival...... hopefully they made some $ so they can do it again next year :-) If the line up is anything like this year, I'll be there again with bells on :-) Even the rain didn't squelch the fun...........hey, what can I say........with the drought we are living through in Philly at the moment, we didn't care about getting wet at all.........and it was really hot & pretty sunny all afternoon (which is when Susan played). It was a relief when the rain came and it cleared out before Fruvous and Dan Bern played so it wasn't too cold later at night. How many Believer's are planning to go to Philadelphia Folk Fest in a few weeks? A show of hands please :-) Seriously, Charlie and I will be there........if anyone else is planning to go, lets arrange a meet...... Peas, Courtney Somethingblack.com I still need the beauty of words sung and spoken and I live with the fear that my spirit will be broken.........
