I've seen Randy in Healdsburg before, at a solo conceert, in the pre-festival days. Not sure about John, but Craig Handy's played the festival several times.


Anybody headed here for the festival, drop me a PM.

Well I'm booked solid through the weekend, charity fundraiser in Napa sponsored by http://www.floranapavalley.com/, Sunday afternoon exhibition in Guerneville and my regular Sunday club that night, so no way I can make that Sunday afternoon Brazilian show I wanted to catch. (Love that recent Trio Da Paz album with Joe Jocke!)

Maybe next weekend Randy Weston or the Sunday morning gospel choir.
