I came up with an idea for Bobfest 2010 to be held at Lake Olmstead Gazebo on May 29, 2010. Why not have people dress up as characters from his songs? For example, you could be Eistein disguised as Robin Hood, Cinderella (don’t forget to be easy!) or Dr. Filth. This would allow for alot of creativity from folks and would be a great addition to the bands and music already planned. get out those Dylan records and find a character! BTW, I also think this would make a great Hallowen party theme.

This is a song by Willie and the Hand Factory called The Lowlander Inn. It is about lost love set in a semi mythical bar located in a southern state.  “I’m gettin’ high at the Lowlander Inn.”

It is official Bobfest 2010 is now listed along with festivals in Ireland, England, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Texas, Australia and India (yes India). Our modest homage to Bob is listed on http://www.dylanfest.com/

I had a idea the other night after working with Bobfest 2010 in Augusta, Ga. I kept finding different celebrations of Bob’s music online and thought it would be great if  information on ALL the festivals were located on a convenient website. Well, I checked Expecting Rain today and there is was- Dylanfest.com. I jsut now sent the info in for our modest little festival to be held on the 29th of May and hopefully it will be posted soon.

Tonight’s Voice of Harrisburg will feature new songs by Broom Room Annex. Songs will be from the album “Definite Improvement” released in 1996. BRA is the brain child of Jon Lester, an Athens musician who is now performing as dis-taster. Dis-taster will present their interpretations of Bob Dylan songs at Bobfest 2010 scheduled for May 29, 2010 at the Lake Olmstead Gazebo in Augusta, Ga.

today I posted two new WATHF songs on Facebook. Harbor and Beulah Land.check it out.

Today we secured the musical talents of Taliaferro County Slim and Eddie Bo-Rat as featured musicians for Bobfest 2010. Sadly, The Goiters from Ona Florida will not be able to appear as they have already booked a date in Drake Ky on the same day as Bobfest. The new lineup for Bobfest is :

Willie and the Hand Factory
