How was the fest in general? Any highlights (besides Garnet?) From someone-who-wished-she-could-have-been-there.... >> Well, do I really have time to bring you there on a post? I'll try a little. Paul already told you about Garnet. I had never been to a music festival quite like this before, missed Woodstock, and Newport, etc. I had gone to Kate Wolf for one day only in '00, that was the first time I had ever seen Garnet in fact. I have gone to the Jackson Browne Verde Valley School benefit in Sedona, AZ for 3 years, which is also great, but more folk rock oriented. Paul encouraged me to figure out how to pull it off, I begged someone to cover me at work for the weekend, and made a hotel reservation way back last March. Then, after checking the site the Tues before the benefit, I decided to go for it, cancelled my hotel reservation and decided to camp out at the festival so I would get the whole experience. I had been forewarned about how miserable and hot and dusty it was by some Garnet list members here, so expecting the worst, I really was not bothered by it at all. I left early Friday morning at 7:15 am and drove up to 101 from Berkeley- after Santa Rosa it was just a gorgeous drive- no traffic either at that hour- I had never been that far North in CA before and had no clue what I was in for. I loved it- felt like an adventure. I found the Owl Cafe in Cloverdale off 101 and stopped for breakfast and read the paper. Checked out Ukiah for half an hr where some cousins of mine moved to decades ago and I could not locate them in the phone book- too bad- moved on and found the concert site- Wavy Gravy's Hog Farm in Laytonville, right off 101. At 11 :30 AM I was too late to be early and there was a line already waiting to get to the camp sites, and I was a little disheartened and kicking myself for goofing off on the way up, but it turned out to not matter at all. Plenty of campsites and everyone was on top of each other anyway by the end of the day. I found a site under a tree overlooking the campfire near the river in the section for no vehicles. My little tent was up in five minutes flat, moved my stuff out of the car to the tent and moved the car back to the parking lot for the weekend and I was ready to go exploring. I got a big blanket site right up front to the left in the shade which saved space for Paul, Susan and Linda, all of them wimps who were staying at the hotel with a real bed and shower and arrived much later that afternoon. The Hog Farm is just beautiful- big Black Oak trees and hay fields, with low golden hills surrounding the valley. The concert site itself was sunny with some large oak trees giving shade at the sides as the afternoon wore on. It seemed very well organized, clean and they had lots to do even for people who brought kids. The concert food was good and very reasonable- breakfast burrito and lots of fresh fruit for $5, roasted turkey on a stick for $3 - large hamburg was about $5 I think- I didn't bother to cook out, but lots of families did. bottled water was $1. They had beer and wine which I was going to splurge on, but decided against it when I realized it would mean spending more time in the portapotties, which altho they were clean, I could still skip. Everyone was quite friendly, I had lots of conversations with strangers thruout the weekend. Altho I was camping alone, I was in a big field with hundreds of other campers, so I was not exactly alone with the bears or anything. There were also artist vendors there all weekend, sort of a Telegraph Ave thing- all very interesting to wander thru. The music started with open mike and there were 2 girls in particular with great voices- once the show started I was right there- loved every show- what is special about this festival is that the lineup is exactly my faves- even the artists that I was unfamiliar with are now on my faves list. Of course I was mostly there for Garnet, Cheryl Wheeler, Lucy Kaplansky and John Gorka, but I had never heard Laurie Lewis before and loved her, Marley's Ghost was great, The Waybacks, superb, the Waifs from Australia were my best discovery. Greg Brown, Nanci Griffith, Bruce Cockburn and Kathy Mattea were all good of course. I missed a couple of artists, Karla Bonoff and Jimmy LaFave due to two stages running at once in the afternoons, that part was hard because I really did not want to miss anyone. I attended both workshops Sat and Sun afternoon in the shade of the oaks - very intimate and up close- low key, chatting with the audience. One of the best parts of the whole weekend was after the shows were over at night. I walked around the campground and stopped in at different spots to listen to people jamming- many in the audience were very talented- fiddle, guitar, banjo, cello even , and it was awesome. Stars out, beautiful summer nights- the moon rose just down river Friday night around 12:30 am while I was at the campfire- maybe a 3/4 moon- those jammers sang almost all night. I put myself to bed, or should I say, tent, at 1 am each night, so that I would not be dead meat all the next day, and slept to music drifting on the air all night. I think they must have sang til 4 am the last night. Monday am I hated to go, but was out of there around 8:30 am on my way home- stopped at the $2.99 breakfast anytime place in Willits on 101 and read the paper- having been oblivious to the bad news all weekend- Got home at 12:30 PM and went to work that eve to make up for missing the weekend. All in all, it was one of the best things I have ever done, great weekend and I hope now to make it every year for the next few years, no matter who is on the lineup. Just being at that place is therapy. Now if they would bring Jackson Browne, Patty Griffin, Richard Shindell, Dar Williams and Catie Curtis there along with much of the same lineup as this year, it would be just perfect.

There is a limit, however. I seem to recall that she can only record 5 songs, but that may have been rumor, nevertheless, I would imagine Truth #2 and Top of the World will eventually be recorded for release by Patty. By the way, I'm not a fan of the version of Top of the World on Silver Bell. Her live performance of it is much better. Why the long pauses?/ breaks up the flow of the song. I also dislike some of the odd goings on towards the end of the song (vocals, etc.). I had heard Patty perform the song before I heard Silver Bell and was quite disappointed with it. - ---------- "Adam K." writes: From: "Adam K."
