Watermelon starts today

Last weekend I got to see The Polka Dots, along with a lot of other great musicians, at my friend Mike’s 40th birthday bash. I’m still tapping my toes from all the fantastic bluegrass/old-time/Celtic/Appalachian/folk music (with a little Pink Floyd to boot).

Many of the musicians who jammed with Mike are at the Watermelon Park Music Festival today, along with Bruce Molsky and Del McCoury. I, unfortunately, am not, despite several invitations from kind friends, and this annoys me beyond all bearing. Grrr. I really wanted to take the whole family to see the Dots (we’ve seen Bruce and Del before, no disrespect intended, boys).

If you’re in the area be sure to go. Tell ’em young Vincent van Gogh sent you!
