Joel Selvin has a fantastic review of this year’s Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in yesterday’s San Francisco Chronicle.  The article also has some great photos.  I’m going to figure out a way to make it to this festival next year come hell or high water.  Hopefully they will break the “you can only play once every five years” rule and have Todd Snider back again.

By the way, Near Truths And Hotel Rooms is an excellent live Todd Snider album and a great introduction to him if you’ve never heard him before.
