Fri, 01 Oct 2004

After my early morning solo hike to upper Calf Creek falls Flavia and I drove to Escalante (what a drive!) to enjoy our first full day and evening of Everett Ruess Days events. Hal Cannon presented his HDVD version of Why The Cowboy Sings. He followed that by singing and playing some tunes from the old West. Charlotte and Phillip (blue haiku members) joined him for a couple of tunes.

I finally met Harriet Priska, one of the festival's organizers. She is the one who arranged for me to perform my wekwomteks poems.

Dana Robinson sang outside on a trailer/stage - trading songs with a relative of Everett's who read some of Everett's writings. While enjoying the text and music we saw David and Jill and their puppy again. Flavia feel in love with their puppy. They told us its brother was still available. Flavia immediately called the breeders and arranged for us to see the other puppy tomorrow.

There was an exhibit hall set up with crafts, paintings and books. Ken Sanders was there exhibiting and selling books of the West. He had an original signed Everett Ruess print for $3500.

Logan and Angie Hebner and family showed up from Springdale. We all got together for dinner before the evening show: The New Galoots, who played a variety of Country, Jazz and Rock. The New Galoots are musician friends of mine since the early 70s - Mark Chaney, Wayne Christainsen and Tulley Cathey. Mark and Wayne stayed in the room next to ours in Boulder. After the gig we hung in their room exchanging old war stories of bad gigs. (Interestingly, Logan, a guitarist, has been a member of various incarnations of both the New Galoots and blue haiku.
