Would You Like An Appel?

Oh, forget the rain, the soaked pants, muddy Tevas and sneakers and the "golf umbrella" situation..."Appel Farm '06" was one hell of a good time!

Yeah, it rained...actually, it poured! But it didn't really matter, since everyone was drenched nine ways to next Thursday. I was there with AMF (who is my man), and we ran into more vols and friends from the station's boards than you can possibly imagine.

One of the reasons why I began volunteering for the station five years ago was to meet like-minded people. I was 35 at the time, and I took on more and more volunteer responsibilities as the years went on...still do, actually.

Anyway, it was great fun to hang out with my fellow vols and boardies, especially since the music was so, so good.

I don't think anyone will every forget Richard Thompson's set, or James Hunter's deal with a full band at the Grove Stage.

Believe me, a *lot* of women "swoon" James and Richard, LOL, and with good reason!

Daniela Cotton rocked the "Meadow Stage", but there's two Philly local bands that you need to keep an eye on..."Slo-Mo" and "Cabin Dogs".

I don't know where all of you may be reading this from...but, if you're a music fan, do keep an ear out for what Daniela, "Slo-Mo" and "Cabin Dogs" may be doing in the near future.
