Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 8

October 12th 2008 in Americana, Bands, Bluegrass, Festivals, Legends, alt.country

Just a few shots from the excellent Hardly Strictly Bluegrass 8 at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. A tip of the hat to investment banker, banjo player and member of the Bluegrass band The Wronglers Warren Hellman, who finances this gift to San Francisco every year and offers some of the greatest roots performers in the country. I don’t know how or why,  but I was taught to never look a gift horse too closely in the molars. Thanks!

I went to see Ed Harris’ big screen adaptation of Robert B. Parker’s Western Appaloosa, about two friends (Harris and Viggo Mortensen) hired to police a small town that is suffering under the rule of a bloodthirsty rancher (Jeremy Irons).  The movie pretty much runs directly from the book so if you read and liked that I think you’ll be pleased. I highly recommend this lean and tense movie to anyone who loves the oater genre.
