Friday, April 30, 2004 2201 Merlefest, Wilkesboro, North Carolina

We got in yesterday about 1600, checked into the hotel and hit the Mexican Resteraunt off 421. After dinner over to the Watson Stage to see Jerry Douglas' band. What a start for the weekend. This afternoon at 1430 I was on Roy Book Binder's blues stage with Ernie Hawkins, Catfish Keith and John Koerner. It was a great way to get the ball rolling. I played San Francisco Bay Blues then we caught a bite to eat and headed over to Creekside for our 1830 show after Tim O'Brien. Here is our set list:
