The day's ticket was still ten bucks, and it hadn't become the nationally known Fest that it is today. I saw a ton of great local acts, but that year I saw Johnny Winter followed by Fats Domino followed by the Allmans. Pretty cool lineup. The one and only time I saw Stevie Ray Vaughn was at the Fest in 1990. Of course, there were always mood alterations going on, and I was much younger. But the Fest was a lot of fun back then.

I don't handle crowds, dust, heat and noise well. Even if I really like the music, the misery involved in hearing it makes most festivals not worth going to. If I had mixed feelings about the music, I wouldn't even bother to apologize. I will aways regret turning down a ride to Woodstock when I was 14. I had a great time at the Ann Arbor Blues and Jazz fest in 1973. That was the best line up of musicians I've ever seen in my whole life. Unfortunately, I was so drunk that I hardly remember any of it. I never made it to Indy 500 or the Bean Blossom Festival the whole time I lived in Indiana.

The festival takes its name from Washboard Chaz Leary, who'll perform as part of Tin Men. Morning 40 Federation, the Happy Talk Band, Ingrid Lucia and Schatzy are among the acts performing starting at noon... Why not do Chaz Fest instead?

Sorry--couldn't resist. my younger brother has been to jazz fest 10 or 11 years in a row! sometimes he's managed to attend for free and meet musicians, by covering the fest for a Flagstaff newspaper. he likes the older, more blues acts, i think. I like “Heresy’s Kisses”.
