the strawberry event
September 05, 2006 by Chris | permalink
for twenty five years about 6000 people have gathered at a meadow in the sierra foothills near yosemite valley over the labor day weekend. it is effectively an event which mixes the best of blue grass and california hippie cultures......the ponderosa pines, the dry heat and very cold evenings, the informal circles of just plain normal people who share a love of music playing thru the night, the hundreds of kids running around and loving every minute of it.
every culture has done this for ever. getting together to share music and song about everyday life. how easy to forget how alike we all are.
