I’m stoked for Richard Julian…saw him with Randy Newman awhile back and he blew me away

I’ll probably be there too, Buffet’s actually the big draw this year….be jumping off boats, and remember Newports unofficial motto…..We are a small drinking town with a fishing problem…..

A mix of the Band (Robbie, Danko, Manuel, Hudson) and the Butterfields played with him right after in Jersey I believe. Or was it before Newport?

I’m psyched to be going to Levon’s midnight ramble on Aug. 16 and Saratoga Folk the next night.

I always wondered why Woodstock had such an epochal reputation. Neport was much more important, as was Monterrey, in terms of introducing large audiences to new sounds.

Good – I’m glad I didn’t timidly raise my hand.

Also – good stuff.

Ack! Good eye, Muddy. Consider it fixed (and kudos).

Ahem… i timidly raise my hand, and ask if you mightn’t have meant “he single stabbing pulse of Mike Bloomfield’s guitar.” Paul Butterfield played harmonica, and didn’t back Dylan at Newport, although the rest of the Butterfield band did.
