Epilogue II - Bald Mountain (west) Music Festival return

A friend gathering is good reason for another entry here. As the Bob Seger song goes, "see some old friends, good for the soul...." 
With the fun happenings we've had over the last couple of years being bottled up with masks on, it was good to see the return of the Woodstock of Howell, the Bald Mountain Music Festival this past weekend. A collection of seven bands (well, maybe 6 1/2 after Champ's appearance) playing some oldies, but goodies along with some songs I had never heard before (my melon only knows so many Grateful Dead songs).  And an apropos way to end the day/evening, Raj played the song that made him famous, "Mitchell Sucks At Fishing." There is a clip of it below at the end of Part 2. The footage is a bit grainy, which is probably best with some of our old mugs, but some great performances. 
Thanks to hosts Jill and Roger for putting on another great festival.
