Good Gawd Awmighty!

Oh yeah. You may have a great free 3 day concert but the property taxes on my house are $648.28 a year.

(You got to hit them were they live) ;D

Property taxes for me are $13,156. And the rental house is $9600 or so

[Marshall]

Hardly I'll say. There must not be anyone playing anywhere else. It's like a musical black hole !

Quite a stellar bunch. And our real estate taxes are higher than that to boot.

Marianne Faithfull ? She's still around ?

[Tamarack]

I'm envious! (property taxes notwithstanding)

Must be a little stress involved deciding which musicians to hear on what stage at what time.

[Marshall]

Festival season is over around here; certainly the outdoor type.

Though there's no season on taxes.

MC Hammer MC HAMMER?

Ha, ha, ha. There's a bluegrass act for ya.

[mccoyblues]

That is quite a lineup. The sad thing is if this was not a free concert the promoters would probably be losing money because of low ticket sales.

[knobtwister]

Actually I've seen over half of these acts, over the last 15 years, not over 3 days.

GO SEE RED WINE.

Great traditional BG band from my hometown of Genova.
I'm not going to make it this year, but this is one of the coolest festivals around.
