Leaf Festival spring 2013

well another year and another leaf. been off the grid since thursday up in black mtn north cackalacky with my amazing wife robin, and 3 of my closest friends in the world: the two daves (the waco guitar slinger and the baron of beef form dallas) as well as the multi talented, dr. lionel worthy of chapel hill nc. we came, we camped, we rocked hard, we played harder, we laughed, we danced, we watched people dance, we screamed, we ate, we drank, we sang, we made new friends, we discussed, and we did not bathe. great times yall!

R.I.P. Richie Havens

richiei had the pleasure at seeing richie havens a couple times with the last time, a couple years ago, at the Leaf Festival in Black Mountain, NC. He was amazing, and probably one of the best shows i have ever seen. He ended his set with a cover of Pink floyds’ (the gilmour version)  The Turning Away. An amazing song, but in the hands of this gifted musician, storyteller, activist — un forgettable. The whole crowd was one big goosebump. So long richie, you were one of the best. Rest in peace.
