If you wrote that song at the time you recorded your LP that kid would now be 30 very likely with a toddler of his own, and the raven-haired beauty 44, possibly has a 2 year old grandson. Do you still know either of them at all?
I don't remember you as a musical guy in high school, so I am wondering where you picked it up. And what of Bliss Fest? Was it there before you, or were you a founding member?
But wait, why quiz Beagles who at this very moment is likely securing the freehold against the approaching cold snap when the winged steed of Google is standing on the balcony chuffing his hoofs waiting to hie me to the wonders of the lower peninsula?
Hum, no wiki page, kind of a bad sign, somebody really ought to get on that. And it seems that like Bob Dylan, Bliss does not look back. No history of the fest in the three pages of responses I perused. Everything is aimed at promoting the upcoming Bliss Fest. It seems as if it is honoring its roots, no mentions of that awful rock and roll, though jazz and world music are mentioned.
But ho, what is this, a hundred bucks a head, and a hundred eighty for a bigger head? And 18 food booths and arts and crafts. Is it possible to imagine Old Dog with his Bake-O-Rama booth, and Uncle Ken peddling his junk and perhaps giving tips to aspiring artists on how to deftly use burnt sienna? Well not likely, but you never know huh?
And what is this?
- # of Exhibitors: 45
Juried: yes
Prize Money: na
I don't know, it seems to me, that if the exhibitors are going to have to put up with being judged, there should be a little pittance at least for the winner. And what the hell, why not one of those little plastic Participant trophies for the losers?
Looking up what those trophies I came across well a lot of stuff, that frankly I have been thinking about for some time: Winners and Losers. What is this American obsession with this? Healthy, Unhealthy? This will be discussed tomorrow.
Oh and there is a fb page for Blissfest in case Beagles wants to take a peek.
