Hudson West Fest

Time to try and start daily blogging again. I probably won’t succeed but I definitely won’t if I don’t try. Yesterday I went to the Hudson West Folk Festival. I’m on the advisory board and have been volunteering there since it started. I work the merch most of the day but get relief to go […]

The Return of the New Bedford Folk Festival

Now on to Sunday at The New Bedford Folk Festival. We started with breakfast at a Latin American café. As a good Jew I had the Cuban Sunrise Tortilla, slow-cooked pork shoulder, fried ham, fried egg, and Monterey Jack cheese and of course coffee. Life begins with the first cup of coffee. We got an […]

The Road to New Bedford

I spent the weekend at the New Bedford Folk Festival. Saturday started early; Mike picked me up at 6 AM. Sure I did that to work the election and when I volunteer at WFUV, but my body will always object. We talked about stopping at the Dunkin’ Donuts at my house so I didn’t even […]
