Out of the rain and onto the music…

It’s so easy to point out the nastiness of the weather at Falcon Ridge this year. But this wonderful folk festival, which, like all others, has had its share of weather interruptions, had its moments of glory as well.

Though I did not attend this year, lots of other folks did, and there was plenty of great music there. So, in an effort to be fair and not just point out the festival’s bad luck weatherwise, here are some Youtube moments (thanks to those who attended and posted!) focusing on the music and the folk spirit, as well as links to decent writeups about the event itself:

See Matt Winters’ writeup here and his friend Nick’s writeup here.

Here, Joe Crookston gets out of the rain and sings the old Supertramp tune called “The Logical Song,” with Pat Wictor in the foreground playing slide:

Here’s Dar Williams performing one her signature tunes, with backing from Patty Larkin and others:

Or check out the fun in the dance tent, with Gandolph Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams, with Eric Lee:
