Hope all of you who go have a really great time. We just saw Wilco in New Orleans a month ago and have tickets for Bruce Cockburn and Janis Ian later this summer.....But it would take a few years til we could ever see all the great entertainment set for the Festival and still we would be missing some of the acts that I would enjoy seeing. You all are lucky!! wbe ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 02 Jun 2000 15:28:56 PDT From: "sharon g" Subject: [lucy-list] falcon ridge -Lucy plays favorites Over on another list, there is talk of a separate space at falcon ridge for that Artist... i say we dont divide and conquer...
