Here are some highlights of our trip to Calgary, Alberta for the Folk Music Festival. It was very hot but we had a great time!

This is a bus stop in downtown Calgary. Cows are big business there!





This is Justin Rutledge we saw him a few years ago at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival. It was good to see him again live.
Give him a listen here:

Thursday and Friday Bill and I lined up early to get good seats. There was not suppose to be any running however, many people ran ahead of us and we are not good runners.
On Saturday I got smart! I went toward the back of the line looking for younger people and told them that they could join us in line by the front if they would run our tarp. They gladly accepted and we were in the 4th row center! Thanks again!


We love Sarah Harmer! Give her a listen here:

Yes, you guessed it, this is Glen Cambell! Can you believe how great he looks at age 73?
We aren’t big fans but we did grow up with him by seeing him on TV lots. He’s an icon and it was fun to see him!

(Left to right)Meet Tom Wilson of Lee Harvey Osmond, Alejandro Escovedo, and my self.
I hadn’t heard of either of these guys before the festival but they are awesome. I especially fell in love with Alejandro.
Here’s a sample of Harvey Lee Osmand: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I1hu_mAvqA
