Then I called Tom Ivey to see if he had any info and he said he hadn't spoken with Bud Ford, the festival organizer. Yesterday I put in a call to Bud, who wasn't available, but I spoke with his daughter, Erin. She informed me that the festival is under-funded this year and they won't be able to use me.
An hour later I got a call from Mark Pearson, who informed me that he'd been booked by Tom Ivey to play the festival. I found it odd that Tom had not mentioned that to me when we spoke a few days ago. Nor had Erin mentioned that Mark was booked. Hmmm....
So, the upshot is - I won't be going this year. Sorry to miss the event and miss seeing many of you who are regular attendees. Hope to catch up with you somewhere else in the near future.
