Phil,

To be honest, I don't know. At this point, nobody. Janet and Charles are not coming this year as they have had to cut back on their travel. Susie of course, passed away in June. Tommy has said he would come down but with the work schedule he has going on (not to mention the hospital and doctor bills he is having to pay, I don't know). Tina talks about some of her work friends coming down, but again, I have to see that to believe it. A bunch of people claim they are going to go, but you never know till they are actually in the living room.

I don't have to remind you that the reason I call OD a "ping pong ball" is because he usually changes his mind between 10 and 20 times before he decides what he will do. About the last five years he has been "yes and no" ing, up until he actually leaves or doesn't. So you never know with him.

It is always hard to tell what is going to happen. Always been that way about this festival. Most everything stays up in the air until the last minute and things change even when we are down there. I usually get my place and then just see what happens. I long ago quit trying to predict who was coming, where I'd be playing, who I'd be playing with, what much of anything was going to happen. After about 25 years with this festival you realize that the only time you can tell what you are going to do is AFTER you've done it.

But, I imagine Tina and I will be there. Pretty much know that one.
