Spirit on the Mountain Music Festival
Over the weekend, I spent a lot of Saturday through Monday at the Sprit on the Mountain Music Festival at Eastover Resort in Lenox, MA. Saw a lot of great bands, including friends of mine, Linda Worster, Mark Kelso, and HuDost. My favorite acts from bands new to me were from Bill Miller, Rev Tor, and Sirsy. Bill Miller did an incredible rendition of Stormy Monday, playing blues on his acoustic guitar. He may just be the fastest strummer on the planet. Rev Tor had me dancing like a madman. What a backbeat! Sirsy is a pretty lady on standing drum kit, vocals, Jethro-Tull-style flute, and fun, plus a tight guitar player, who covers the bass line by electronically transposing his bottom guitar strings down an octave (I think). I would have danced to them as well, but my body was sore from the Rev Tor madness of the night before. I did get to sing along, "Nah nah nah, nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah", to "Waiting for Rain", loud enough to evince a comment from Melanie.
And, I got this nice winter cowboy hat:
Hats!
Speaking as a hat addict I say "Love the hat!"

Nice hat.
You are ready for another trip west soon, obviously, now that you have your winter hat.
