I can't remember, but I do remember the IIICCCCCCEEEEE guy screaming at 6 a.m. every morning. Too much fun. BTW, for anyone in the Hanson-Pembroke-Halifax area, there's a jam every Thursday night at the Thomas Mill across the street from the Hanson Town Hall. It's open mic/jam bluegrass/folk/rock and very cool. That's Route 58 in Hanson and the fun starts around 7 p.m. I went to this festival when it was called something-hawk.

He not only has taken fantastic photos of our heros but also has taken the time to amass a collection of live recordings that encompass some of the very best performers to come to this area.

I don't know if you've checked this out, but there also is a video showing the demolition of the stage: http://youtube.com/watch?v=C1EZWK__N8I Maybe that will be a three-hankie moment. On a brighter note, here is a link to see the new field: http://youtube.com/watch?v=F6lXseCPU2Q Steve Kent, I know how you feel….

I expect to be among the liners this year, though I might not be there the entire time. Check back for more stuff from this festival and from others from time to time. I hope to post the video from the actual destruction of the stage, which I was given this past weekend. But I'm not sure where it is going to go just yet. And it hurt a bit to watch it. Steve Neil,

I'm sure it was a labor of love. I will attend the festival for the fifth year in a row with friends who have attended since the 1980's. Hope to meet you in person in the line, if I can. Again thanks for what you have done. Neil Thank you so much for taking the time to put this column together and especially the video of the move to the new site. I’m sure it was a labor of love.
