Saratoga Folk Festival

bob dylanBob Dylan and a bunch of other great folk/folk-rock acts (Conor Oberst, Gillian Welch, Steve Earle and others) will be playing SPAC on August 17. Matthew Loiacono's take: this show's a "doozy."

I tried to post this on Matthew's blog, but it wouldn't let me (maybe 'cause I'm at work?). I'm trying it again here:

Wow! (which is exactly what I exclaimed from my office chair, mouth full of McDonald's quarter pounder, much to the disruption of what my co-workers were doing at the time) I read part of the list of performers for this show (Dylan, Oberst, and Welch specifically caught my eye) on alloveralbany.com. Then, I clicked on a link that brought me here and... wow! The Swell Season! I am very much into Glen Hansard's song writing right now. I may start playing on street corners to try and raise funds to attend this show.

I find those listings pretty arbitrary and useless...considering Union, Skidmore and RPI cost an arm, a leg and a kidney...I would take the UAlbany education and half the debt any time.
