Will you be going?
Years ago I was on the same plane as Bob Marley so I have always taken a special interest in his music.
Wow, Leigh, you were lucky! I saw him in one of the last concerts he did.
I didn’t think I’d be around this weekend so I didn’t plan on it. Trying to get tickets now to see Earl Klugh
What a diverse lineup. Marcia Griffiths – I think she’s the Electric Slide woman!
Since when she started singing jazz or blues? I like Celine and all but I think she stole somebody’s spot.
Neither. I haven’t been following the festival but I too wish they had more of both.
Yes, she is, Scott!
I bet it was a great time!
Yes, from what I’ve heard, it was.
