Kerrville Folk Festival 6/9/11

Long day! I was on the road to Kerrville, TX by 1:15pm today to do a special performance with Rob Roy Parnell at the 40th annual Kerrville Folk Festival. Rob and a couple of other instructors held harmonica workshops for the past few days, and it ended with all of their students taking turns soloing with a live band (us)! We played a few different styles of music for them to solo over during the course of about an hour-and-fifteen-minute gig. 190 miles round trip; two hours to get there, three hours there (to set up, perform, then tear down) then another two hour drive home, only to be faced with the fact that this was only gig #1 of 2 for tonight!
