Crawfish Fest Photos and Reports
Hey...we just went for Saturday and I can't imagine that a finer day of music was heard anywhere else yesterday.
Found the threadhead setup near the main stage. Not overly packed but still a good size and fine crowd with an obviously large contingent of JazzFesters. Sort of reminded me of a nice lazy Thursday at Jazz Fest maybe 13 years ago. Pine Leaf Boys and Geno set the table at the main stage. Sonny followed and was magnificent. Bonerama after Sonny, and they just keep getting better every time I see them. Finished with great covers of Helter Skelter and segued right into Frankenstein. Although, I didn't think that the New Orleans Social Club was going to be able to top the Bones, well they invited the Bonerama horns and then Mark alone for some key numbers. This was the best set of the year for me.  In fact, www.digitalsoundboard.net was there and pressed the NOSC (with Bones) set onto two CDS. We picked a copy and listened to the set twice more on the long ride home. When it becomes available on the site...get it..it's a killer. Oh Yeah...click on the picture above to go to my slideshow from day one...plenty of shots of threadheads and performers. Later, I'm sure I can find a video clip or two. mdFest took me on tour of the Camp Threadhead...looks like fun....we'll definitely be back!. Last edited by Michelino : 06-03-2007 at 05:45 PM.

Ooops, posted this on the other crawfish fest thread, but might as well put it here as well. Great to meet you and missus yesterday Michelino
Beautiful Saturday in Joisey...... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Woo Hoo!! Yesterday was my day and a grand time was had by all. Hot day, bad weather threatened but held off and many smiles and fun being had was seen. Oh and beer was consumed. Threadheads sighted (please forgive me if I omit someone, others can fill in anyone I omitted due to excess beer consumption) Corona, Linza, Hatsjazz, Steeleye, Amy P and Jeff H, Swag, Michelino, Cisco, MDfest, Barry10016, Juls, Tangledupinblue and Jude, Jazzykeb, Gris Gris and I'm sure there are more. Geno Delafose was execellent, Sonny Landreth was unbelievable (got a double dose of him, new songs sound great) Bonerama rocked as well, (Crosstown Traffic and Helter Skelter among the covers) Caught the end of Papa Mali with Henry Butler sitting in and Mel got there earlier and told me Ivan Neville sat in before Henry Butler. (sorry I missed that). New Orleans Social Club was also fantastic (they had Bonerama horns join them on a few songs) and as good as they were I had to pop away and catch Hubert Sumlin (Howlin Wolf's original guitarist) since he's getting up there in years and and you have to catch the legends when you can. (Papa Mali thought the same as he was sitting on the side of the stage taking it in) He was wonderful and just has the biggest smile on his face when he's on stage. Someone else will have to fill in the Threadhead village shenanigans although I did ask Blue if they had any Jello shots and the reply was "@$%^ I think we must've had a hundred of em!!!" Threadhead paparazzi were snapping away all afternoon so I'm sure they'll be plenty of pics coming. I'm sure there will be more updates from today, and from the TH village festivities. It was a wonderful day so nice to see TH's I knew and to meet new ones! WOO HOO!!! Joisey rocks!!

Scoop!
Marcia and I were glad to meet you as well. The only missing thing was a certain softshell sammich. I was looking forward to seeing Hubert Sumlin myself, but could not bear to leave that last set at the main stage. Grand time indeed!

Papa Roux and I had a great time, too.
The music is always wonderful, of course, but I just love seeing all our friends and having the chance to gather with them and share it all together. We got there in time for Sonny on the main stage, then caught Papa Mali for a bit, over to Bonearama, then back to Sonny, and Geno, then NOSC... and I was too tired to walk over to see Hurbert, although I thought about it. The red beans and rice w/sausage was real good, and so was the jambalaya, but I sorta lived on fruit smoothies (even though they ran out of the Pina Coloda and had no straws, duh) the fruit cups were great. Me,not being a beer drinker finished one of Juls Amber Boch's and decided that I like that! So I finished my husbands later, too, and someone handed me an Abita so I drank that. I think with as hot as it was, the icy cold beer actually tasted good for the first time ever to me... and I had a few waters inbetween, too, and a bite of Denise's shrimp Po Boy. I ran into a few other friends I hadn't seen in years, including Big Paulie, who I made follow me around and introduced him to several Threadheads and made him show everyone his Dr. John the Night Tripper tattoo. Got to take a few pics of folks I seemed to have missed at Jazz Fest, like that Swag guy, don't know how that happened... but I still missed JoeRI, even though we got to chat, we all had our hands full of food, so no camera access, and Mels  I was so glad to see Mels!!! Just didn't have much time to chat during JF.We spent some time with Juls and Charlie after the show, our friend Karen was with them. Karen lives out in Washington now, so we spent a lot of time trying to get her to move back to NJ... and drinking and laughing. We got home around midnight, and the drive back seems to have gone a lot faster than the drive up there.... less traffic I think. Oh yeah, and someone asked me if MD was a doctor. I told them he was a gynocologist and gave free breast exams. That's right, right?

 Denbear and I and another friend saw a GREAT young band called "Seismic" that had come up here to Nevada City on Friday night - they've got some excellent funk/jazz/jam grooves and list the Dead, Phish, and the Meters amongs their influences. Check out their MySpace page for a taste: http://www.myspace.com/seismictheband So, that was my live music quota for the weekend . . .
