We often stop by
and visit our friend, Alan Jones, international potter. He has been
working the Comfest for 25 years. We sit under his tent; next to
Roger the tie-dye guy and watch the people flow past us, often stopping
to gaze at his beautiful pottery and handcrafted wooden shelves.
Jazz music plays in the tent across from us and we never fail to stop by
the Strawberry Fields tent to get a strawberry, banana, and orange juice
drink. It is absolutely the best.

I never stop at one
particular tent to listen to a band, as I walk along the music follows
me wherever I go. Some of the bands I heard this year are Kim Pensyl
(bop trumpet), Ekoostik Hookah (“an improvisational style of psychedelic
rock n roll, blues, funk, jazz and bluegrass”), Hoo Doo Soul Band (funky
r & b), The Randy’s (dynamic rockabilly) and Johnny Rebel (rockabilly
revue) to name a few. I can never resist stopping by the Live Arts
stage to see talented performances. Last year I saw belly dancers,
this year I saw Thoissane West African Dance.

When
we arrived at Comfest the sound of drums led us to these energetic dancers.
Their colorful garments were wonderful to watch as they soared into the
air with every step. If you ever get a chance to see this preformance
you will not regret it.
