Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 10


This weekend was the 10th anniversary of the ever more popular Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park. Funded almost completely by one patron, this festival remains one of the largest free music festivals to be found anywhere!
Looking over the festival schedule, one artist stood out above the rest for us. Sure, Elvis Costello and Emmylou Harris would be there, but so would one of our favorites: Martin Sexton. For some reason, this incredibly talented singer/songwriter had an early Sunday morning slot on one of the 6 stages. That was fine with us, though, as it meant that it would be less crowded and the crowd would have fewer of the joint-wielding contingent that would show up later in the afternoon.
Martin Sexton was fantastic and you loved him so much, Rai, that you danced, in that unique way of yours. You danced a lot. Can't wait for Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 11, next year!
