Smith the Myth

After an amazing 5 nights, I’m going through a little Folk Fest withdrawal. This was one of the best fests to date. Kicked off  with Van the Man and went hard till John Prine on Sunday night. There were a lot of great moments.

• Dancing the night away during Van Morrison
• Ben Harper singing Heart of Gold
• Making a mini donut/elephant ear burrito
• Beer gardens
• My lucky shirt pulling through once again
• Making new folkie friends
• Making friends new folkies
• Lake Maria with John Prine
• Jam Session between Amanda Martinez and Genticorum
• Beer Gardens
• Singing Four Strong Winds arm in arm with at least 15 people

You’d expect a few more grumpy moments when you’re only getting 4 hours of sleep a night and spending the rest of the day in blistering hot sun, but there’s some kind of magical euphoria that sweeps over Gallagher Park every August, and it’s a feeling that can’t be beat.
