I listened to the Gogol Bordello set at work today during that slumpy hour right before lunch and it was a great pick-me-up!

Yeah, this is the first year I *Really,* really felt like I made a mistake not attending.

The Newport festival has been working to stay really current and I think they've hit an awesome balance of trad/roots/indie in the past few years. I'm going to prioritize attending next year, because it seems like there were some amazing shows last weekend, just a couple hours away, and it would have been great to be there.

These were shot in the parking lot at Newport 1965--Maybelle and Sara Carter doing "Cannonball Blues" and "Sweet Fern."
