## Notes

It's always a bit of a struggle to rally and get to Golden Gate Park for the start of the fest, and while I thought we had everything under control this morning, I was caught by surprise when Paul Mann introduced Béla and Abigail ten minutes prior to the scheduled time. It's nice to get that extra song or two, but boy, was I surprised!

Once they wrapping things up, about an hour later, Ting and I decamped for the Rooster stage, where we caught the finale of the Hellman Clan's set and then spent the rest of the day with the friends of Buddy Miller. Yee-haw!
