Well once wasn't enough do we just had to go back for another kick at the cat. After breakfast, which was scrounge your own grub kinda affair, my BETTER HALF and I grabbed the shuttle back down to the Music Fest. The shuttle drivers chair was squeeking so much it sounded like he was riding atop a bucket of fresh cheese curds.
The temperature hadn't had a chance to rise yet but it wouldn't be long before the old brain pan started baking again.
We started by listening to some guy yodelling while handling a squeeze box at the Instructional Stage. My Darling Dearest said it reminded her of her childhood. Next stop was the Woodland Stage where this nice couple played songs on a South American harp, guitars and maracas. She informed the audience that her style of playing the maracas was called "milking the goat".
The two of us plunged headlong out to the sun filled venue to listen to some performers we had heard last night. Only this time all three bands were on the stage at the same time. One observation was the dance crazed fauna from last night was no where to be seen.
After all was said and done we jumped onto the shuttle for a pleasant ride home. The Comox Valley Music Fest is done for another year. Would we be interested in going next year? I would think so. I think the Couch Monkeys might want to go as well. In fact I think they might feel a little left out as my LOBSTER and I gained some freedom.
One last note, rumour has it, from a very reliable source (the mini donut guy), that Colin James joined Bonnie Raite on stage to play out her final set last night. Now I wasn't there but stranger stuff has happened here before.
My Li'l Sis just texted me. Looks like she having an all time family fave for supper. Pork chops with simmered in beer and mushroom gravy. Sounds yummy but in our heat I don't think so sis.
I'll have to pass.
