Have you heard there new on John and Fiona?
I saw them at t in the park bacjk in July - they headlined the main stage on the Friday night.
I like their music - but I wasn't totally impressed by the set - maybe an off day for them. They played this at the time and I thought it was all right but once you here it a few times you get hooked.

Hi there everybody!
I just wanted to remind all SF Bay area Brokies that Hardly/Strictly Bluegrass festival is this weekend. Here's the lineup:

I'm headed out to see Robert Plant this afternoon and I'll be there on Sunday too. Hope you all get to catch some of it - it's a great show (and free - how cool is that?).
I've been there in the past and have seen people from Richard & Teddy Thompson to Elvis Costello, T Bone Burnett, Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris.
ETA: if there is somewhere else that this should be posted here please feel free to do that!

And now, a trivia question: What album was the first to include written lyrics??

One of the last songs that the band played Thursday nite was "Ohio" and I found that my children didn't know anything about what the song referred to. For those of you who are interested, there is a great site that tells all about it, and here it is:

Briefly, on May 4, 1970, soldiers came to the campus of Kent State University in Ohio and shot dead four students who were protesting the War in Vietnam. This was during my first year of college.

I was listening to a program about the 40th anniversary of this, and can you believe that most history text books leave this out completely? Shocking!!
