I will be there Friday night and Saturday, is it going on Sunday too?

The 4th is the last day I thought !

 

Jimbo,

 

After looking at it further, I'm sure it ends on Saturday. When I looked at the first line from the schedule...

Friday - 3rd - 7th Annual Cigar Bo...

Somehow my brain registered that it started on the 3rd of June and ended on the 7th of June instead of the fact that this is the 7th year the CBG festival has taken place. Please ignore and carry on. I will be there this evening and hope to meet you.

Well the Hymn for her gig was great , I had a good time and saw some old friends there and meet a few new friends from the nation, now I can't wait till tomorrow !
So cool meeting you and your son @ CGB festival! Your Mystic Dobro is awesome!

I all so have a few videos to get up on youtube.
