It's all here and more. (How many songs show up more than once?)

I can't remember who played Satisfied Mind at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. I think it may have been the first act I caught.

I heard Hickory Wind tonight sung by John of the Kung Pao Chickens with Black Prarie at the Laurelthirst. They played a few songs (Red Red Wine) with Richie of Loch Lomond.

Friday at HSB I saw Jolie Holland, Thurston Moore, Robert Plant (anyone in between TM and RP?) Oh it was the Mekons who played Satisfied Mind,when I first arrived I think! Robert Plant covered Los Lobos.

Next day Corey someone who will play on the radio's girl friend sat next to me, Ricky Skaggs showed why he is famous, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit were good opening for Merle Haggard and Kris Kristofferson who had better patter than Hugh Laurie on the other stage who said it was the biggest day of his life and first visit to San Francisco. Merle and Kris started with Pancho and Lefty and played a lot of old hits. Broken Social Scene did a set. Irma Thomas sang requests a Capella and probably the second Ocomomorock song of the weekend. Buckethead started late and closed with Stairway.

Sunday's highlights were Laurie Lewis in Hazel Dickenson's slot, Bela Fleck with some other guys and the Blind Boys of Alabama.

This was a new song I'd like to remember:
