Friday

Got to the Fest about 4pm, actually plenty of time. Sampled food. Music highlights were CJ Chenier & the Red Hot Louisiana Band and Marcia Ball, a real crowd favorite.

Then off to have some fish burritos and marguaritas (which would come back to haunt me in the middle of the night)with JR/Jeff (Dallas friend of BD). Then finish the night at the Maple Leaf Cafe to see Jon Cleary and the Absolute Monster Gentlemen. Maple Leaf is a small venue, hot and crowded with limited sight-lines, But Cleary puts on a great show.
