Subject: Bean Blossom Blues Festival

I just returned from the first ever Bean Blossom Blues Festival in Nashville
Indiana, Thanks to John Hall of Harp Depot who founded and promoted the
fest. I can't say enough about what a good show it was. Three great days of
great talent. Lots of great lesser known talent, topped off by the likes of
Blind Mississipi Morris, Willie Foster, Snooky Pryor,Tad Robisson, John
Weston, R. J. Mischo, MIke Stevens, who when he finished, I didn't know
whether to through my harps away, or just admit that I see know way I'll
ever be able to play like that, and then to add insult to injury, here comes
Sonny Girl, an 8 year old that plays blues like she was pickin cotton last
week. Watch out for her in the future!!

Workshop were also given, I was able to attend the ones given by Wille
Foster, Snooky Pryor, and Mike Stevens. Very up close and personal, and
learned a lot.

Sorry for rambling, but just wanted to post so that I could thank John, and
all the others that made this quite a celebration of the blues, and it great
dedicated talents.

Thanks John and all, Looking forward to the next one.
