I don't see any articles being posted about upcoming music festivals or festival reviews! C'mon, guys! Is Heather the only one who is folky enough to be an involved festivalite? it used to be that the summer festivals were THE place to play and listen to folk music, and I'll bet they're still the best, so write in and tell us all, gang! *** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE ***

Okay (yes, it's Heather here), here's another folk festival.
I hope it's not too late - we just got back on the net after a
prolonged dry spell.
**The Newport Folk Festival - August 3 & 4 - Newport, Rhode Island**
I don't have all details here, but will by the time anyone who needs
immediate information wants to call me at (401) 847-8000 ext. 4059.
Here's the basics:
Saturday, August 3 - Joan Baez and a lot of other famous people that
I can't remember right now.
Sunday, August 4 - Judy Collins, Arlo Guthrie, Dave Von Ronk, David
Mallet, Bonnie Raitt, and a lot of famous people that I don't
remember.
(Based on the above information recall, guess which day I was most
excited about?)
This festival takes place at Fort Adams State Park in Scenic
Newport, Rhode Island. It's right on the water (in fact, you can
get there by boat if you don't want to drive around) and you can
swim right off the rocks when it gets too hot (sometimes the
security guards try to discourage it, but it doesn't work). There
is no camping and precious few accommodations in Newport, to my
knowledge, since we're the yachting capitol (gag) of the east coast
and there are too many 'beautiful people' around to make room for
folkies. So I'll offer my couches and floors to anyone who will
agree to feed my cat for the duration.
I'll be back at my desk on Tuesday, July 30, so call if you want
more info.
