What a beautiful day to be out and about in Seattle! I took the bus downtown to Folklife at Seattle Center and joined the tie dyed throngs to listen to music made with every conceivable instrument from a jaw bone to a wash tub. Of course the usual fiddles, mandolins, banjos, and dulcimers were also in abundance. I even mustered enough voice to sing with the Sacred Harp singers. It was good to see old friends and join them in harmony. And when I couldn't stand the incessant bagpipes and percussion one minute more I headed into Belltown and got myself a much needed haircut; thanks to the gift certificate I bought at Sanislo's auction a couple weeks back.

Wonderful pictures, especially the 'rainbow pair'. I'm guessing it was fun but loudloudloud.
Actually not too loud but the drumming does get monotonous sounding.
Oh, how I miss Seattle and Folklife and all the other festivals...This is the time of year I miss the most..Weather looks beautiful too...I think I need to find a ticket and make my way over there...Definitely don't want to teach summer school! My summer is too short!
