Community Festival !!!!!!!!!
Hey Folks,
COMFEST starts Friday, and Uke Man & his Prodigal Sons will be playing Saturday in the Gazebo at 6:00 p.m. I hope to see you there !! But even if you can't make our show, DON'T miss the COMFEST!!!! ( http://www.comfest.com/ )
Below is a report I did last year on the Saturday we played that will give you just a small view of what the festival has to offer.
- Uke Man
Comfest Report - Saturday before the show
Saturday was “show day” for Ukulele Man & his Prodigal Sons; so I packed my amp and ukes in early and stashed them at Jon & Karen’s “Retro1.com” booth (if you haven’t checked out their wonderful vintage offerings – both nostalgic AND practical, as well as cool – DO SO next year or go now to: http://www.retro1.com/ !!!
Then it was off to the Revolutionary Books booth to hawk my book review of Bob Avakian’s recently published autobiography. I had been asked to review the book; so I spent some time handing out copies of my “scholarly treatise” (the review will appear at some point in “The Columbus Free Press” and I’ll put it on the blog as well).
And THEN, the Gay Pride Parade!!! All these years I’d been stuck working in one guise or the other during the parade and was restricted to enjoying only the lining-up process on Dennison and Buttles. This time I had a spot on High Street!!! And, Yes!!, there ARE gays in the military – the gay veterans were there to prove it!
After the parade I hiked to the Off-Ramp Tent to emcee three bands: Whoa Nellie ( my friends Trent Arnold and Ed Mann and my band-mates Peter English, Bob Hite, and Bob Starker), the Woosley Band, and Eric Wrong and the Do-Rights – all this before heading to the Gazebo to catch Chief Johnny Lonesome, Bob Sauls, and Myke Rock before we went on.
