Though it seemed very impractical to put the stage in front of the railroad, it still was an improvement over last year. In 2002 the stage was aimed down one of the streets and it was very difficult for anyone to get close to the stage. This year, the stage was more in the open...although, it WAS in front of a train! :) I have been on this list for years, but had never seen Laura Love live until the Blue Plum festival. I went with my husband and my two year old daughter. We all loved it. My daughter made a friend there (another two year old girl) and they danced to the music and threw their arms in the air. I hope that Laura Love and co. can make it to East Tennessee again. Maybe the Blue Plum will continue to improve on their "stage situating". - -Julie - -----Original Message----- From: owner-octoroon@smoe.org [mailto:owner-octoroon@smoe.org] On Behalf Of Birdgrdnr@aol.com Sent: Saturday, July 12, 2003 12:44 AM To: octoroon@smoe.org Subject: [octoroon] anybody out there Love Bugs, I sometimes wonder if I am the only one on this list as it has been very quite. I know I am not the only one going to see Laura at festivals. In June I made it to the Blue Plum Fest. in TN. I brought a friend who had never been to see Laura before. The show was wonderful. I thought it odd that they would put the stage about 20 feet from the railroad tracks. The other bands that played before Laura would just stop playing until the train went by. Right in the middle of Cain't Nobody the train went by and it was a long one. Babs just broke into Cherry Blossom Special and we rode it out. The friend I brought just had all kinds of good things to say about the band and each and every comment was the exact opposite of the review Laura had gotten recently. So who ya gonna believe? ------------------------------ End of octoroon-digest V6 #11 *****************************
