NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BLUEGRASS SOCIETY
|
|
|
The Northern California Bluegrass Society was founded in 1982 as the Santa Cruz Bluegrass Society and is still known by that name in the greater Santa Cruz Area. The name was changed in 1999 to reflect the organization's true geographic scope. The Society serves the San Francisco Bay Area, the Monterey Bay Area, and all of Northern California. The website address is: www.ncbs.us but also can be accessed at: www.scbs.org. Northern California

The most incredible people associated with this festival were the generous volunteers who worked tirelessly to set things up, make everything comfortable for all, and then they broke everything down. |

DANCIN' JOHN
In 2000 Dancin’ John attended 19 music festivals and music shows.
After speaking with friends, he discovered that he had attended
more events than anyone he knew. In 2001 he decided to make a
deliberate effort to attend as many music events as possible to
see what his record high could be. He attended 120 events---but
many festivals and events were cancelled after the September 11
attacks. John decided to try again in 2002 to see how many events
he could attend in a full year. His amazing record for 2002 was 162
music festivals and shows. Realizing this was a record not likely to
be broken by himself or anyone else, John has (since 2002) attended 40-50
festivals or shows each year. Even at 40-50 per year, we doubt anyone
can challenge his record! Dancin’ John, we all THANK YOU for your
unwavering loyalty to musicians and to music events. |

NOTE FROM STARRY NIGHT PHOTOGRAPHER
I apologize to some of the Tweener Stage performers for failing to photograph you.
A few times after I completed the main stage performers, I was unable to get
over to the Tweener Stage in time. Also, I took a lot of photographs of some bands,
and not many of others. There were several reasons for this, including circumstances
beyond my control.
