Hey Kirk:

It was good to see you.

I made it to a bit of festival early on Saturday. Saw
a bit of Paul Daigle. Saw some of Ray Abshire (nice to see courtney granger and mitch reed play together - they have such different styles and yet it still works)

Caught some of the accordion workshop with Horace, Dexter and Christy (They did a good job and Horace was
really funny as usual).

Caught some of the Trio Kreyol - (actually five people) - Nolton Simien playing old creole style accordion, Jeffery Broussard and Cedric playing fiddle and Djalma Garnier on Guitar plus a triangle player.

Then had to dash off to Baton Rouge for a wedding..so
didn't get a chance to go to jam.

Made it back over on Sunday just in time for the rain.
Caught a bit of Dexter, some of Keith Frank (nice to
see Joel Savoy play some fiddle with him).

I was able to jam a bit at the jam tent on Sunday...
played a little fiddle at jesse lege jam. Played one
song on accordion and played some guitar and fiddle
with Dexter Ardoin.

Caught a little of Balfa Toujours before I left totally exhausted.

All and all a fun time. Although the location of the
Heritage tent two years ago was better and it was
covered. Mark

Kirk:

We were close enough to shake hands! I kept getting 'pushed' to the right. The recording was also to my left. I ended up standing at the far right corner--Kris was seated on the picnic table to the left of tent.

Peace brother,
Griff

Griff,

Sorry that I missed you. I know that I would have recognized you had I seen you.

It was my first one, so can't compare, but it was great! I got
to jam a bit, listen to some great bands, and eat too
much!! A neat moment came during the Ray Abshire hosted
jam when a little girl (8 yrs old... I think her name was Grace) sitting
next to me played a valse on her Bon Cajun - she's gonna
be a star someday!
