The full compliment of the Java Brother's played for a pretty nice crowd of folks on July 4th in Radford's Bisset Park. We had our work cut out for us, after following the King, but held up pretty well under the pressure. We were appreciative of having several of our Coffee Mill jammers and listeners in attendance. It sure is nice to see a friendly face or two in the crowd! The event sponsors seemed happy with our set, even though the PA got a little out of whack at times. I think the Mill may see a few new faces in the coming weeks from folks who didn't know about the Monday goings-on until yesterday.
Joe and I talked to Jimmy Fortune for a few minutes before he went on. He said he didn't get to hear us, but had really wanted to. He indicated that he was already looking at working on coming back to Radford next year. I told him to tell the folks from the City that he wouldn't come unless the JB's were on the bill! He said he'd do that. (wink, wink) The City puts on a pretty good musical show on the 4th every year. Maybe if they'd get together with Chris and the Side Door concept, a little mini festival of various music types could come together in the future! Just a thought..............

Good job, everybody. Thanks for setting it up, Wayne.
You're right about the support of friendly faces. It was amazing to look out and see Nancy, the Wheelers, Dale, Miss Becky, the Fryes and other folks from the jam. Good folks, all.
I didn't get to stay for Jimmy Fortune. I suspect he had a good-sized crowd.
Except for the work involved in a "real" festival, I'm all for it. :]
Everybody will get around 1 mike at our festival!
