mark tonin Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 In May 2001 I went to my first ever Come Together Music Fest. When I arrived home from that weekend I wrote some thoughts down. Here is a small snippet from what I wrote:"Absolute magic … I am in a spell. I have never danced so hard in my entire life. I am so revitalized from this past weekend. What else can I say? Three days of sunshine, no rain, great music, sunsets, twinkling stars, huge camp fires, and beautiful people. The Come Together Music Fest was incredible ... one of the best weekends I have had in my entire life!!!"When I think of that weekend, and all of the Come Together Fests that I've been to since then, and I get EXCITED!!! And now that this year's May Come Together Fest is less than 3 weeks away, I am REALLY EXCITED!!! All of the wonderful friends that I see at shows throughout the year, gathered in one place, outside, listening to fantastic music and tearing it up like Canadians do during the May long weekend. WOW, I am stoked!On a different note .. I don't know if this has been posted by anybody yet, as it's been a busy day for me and I haven't been at a computer for a good chunk of the day, but here's the info re: Saturday night at the May festival:Unfortunately, Brothers Past will not be playing at the festival this year. I'm not sure why but that's the message I received.Fortunately, Smokestack has been booked to replace them. This excites me, as I've seen Smokestack 3 times and have thoroughly enjoyed them every time. Some new music (i.e. Brothers Past) would have been nice, but personally I'm just as happy with Smokestack on the bill.And even with the change, I think we've got 4 bands from the States at this year's May festival - Vorcza, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Smokestack, and Lazlo Hollyfeld. And yes, let's not forget the fantastic Canadian talent! This will be a wonderful weekend of live music!Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 No Brothers Past? That really sucks... I was almost as excited to hear them as I was JFJO... Still a good lineup, but losing BP is a real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a good lineup, but losing BP is a real shame. Hey Del, sorry to disappoint ... I know that you and some other people were very excited that BP was on the bill. Hopefully it won't put too much of a damper on your enthusiasm for the festival. It still is a really solid lineup I think ...Peace, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted May 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I hear from my East Canadian sources that Brothers Past are kinda flighty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I've heard Brothers Past is like a good Disco Biscuits... Don't worry Tonin, I'm still very stoked about the lineup, but in the last week I've heard so many good things about BP that I think I was actually looking forward to seeing them the most. I guess I'll have to [color:purple]settle for Vorcza, JFJO and Smokestack, as well as all the Canadian acts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaidy Mae Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 Sure it's only 17 or so days away, but there are so many awesome things going on between then and now that I hope it doesn't get here too fast. I am gonna be broke this summer. Yeah! Can't think of anything better to spend my dwindling cash on though. Really excited about busting out my new tent. It's a super huge mother (it was about time I upgraded from the bee hive with the broken poles)...complete with attached awning space for bug-free eatin'. I also found my hammock and rubber dingy last weekend. I am happy to report that they are both free of holes. This is gonna be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
