I thought I would die when I heard that Aretha Franklin cancelled - it still makes me cringe. BUT the good news is, I nearly forgot all about the Queen about 5 minutes into the festival. First stop, Gospel tent.
These ladies know how to work a crowd - hallelujah! (PS it was not raining in the tent)
Other highlights for Friday were Jose Feliciano - blind guitar genius...
and Hiromi, the most mind-blowing pianist ev-er:

Pearl Jam was the headliner, but I was way too far back to really see/hear good. Biggest disappointment: Aaron Neville - snore! But there were lots of really fun& impressive bluegrass, blues and of course jazz performers.
