Strictly Bluegrass

So I found myself at a foggy Bluegrass festival on my first weekend in San Francisco.

Lots of banjos and (non-smoking) hippies-frozen-in-time. 

It was great to see Joan Baez though, especially having watched Scorcese's Dylan documentary (No Direction Home) last week.  Sadly I missed Dolly Parton - I didn't even know she could sing....funny how our generation thinks 'comedy boobs and hair' rather than 'leading light of country music'.

One interesting observation:  Californians get very excited at public swearing.  Every single 'fuck' was met with a loud cheer, regardless of context.  I must remember that for my first day at work.

I fucking love Joan Baez. Well, the music to Silent Running anyway. That 'fucking' was a comedic one, obviously.
