*September 15 & 16, 2006 Jill, Peter and Leslie, pulled out the FOB Festival Survival List, loaded up the vanjo and headed down Rt. I-81 to Glen Maury Park in Buena Vista, Virginia, for a weekend of old time jamming. As soon as we pulled up to the park, we ran into Lucy with her cute, blue festival caravan and, right around the bend, we found JC & Pat S helping Carol put up her canopy. Later we found Howard and then Brooke. Rockbridge is a wonderful, low key festival, that lives up to it's self-description of " ...not your usual festival. There's no contest and no fancy line-up of big-name acts. No* crowds. But if you love dancing and old-time music in a mellow setting, it's the one for you..." And, just as last year, our weekend was packed with friends, good food, lazy times and music. During the day, the weather was gorgeous but we forgot that due to a heavy dew, it can be cold and damp during late night jamming. Next year we'll remember our warmer clothes and wet-weather foot-gear. The food available at Rockbridge is quite good, due to Mountain Mama Caterer, who prepares, healthy delicious, mostly veggie meals at reasonable prices. We had a couple of home-cooked meals, too. Peter made his good cheese omelets for Saturday breakfast and Howard invited us over for a scrumptious veggie chili, perfect for a chilly night. (Click here for Rockbridge 2005.)
