Kris wasn't able to make it down here in person this time around (she attended in 2000), and, although we missed her sunny presence, we at least got a taste of her music around a camp fire song circle in the shape of a cover of Open Road from Greg Cagno. Being from a different locale, though, he did make one slight alteration to the lyrics! :-) Are there any other interesting covers of Kris tunes out there?
