Palatka: Wednesday

Our first evening. By now the temperature has climbed into the 80’s, so setting up has become something to get in a sweat about. However all was accomplished by mid afternoon and a small nap was taken by most. We are all parked near each other, making a small ‘U’ shape, just in case the Indians attack I suppose. High priority task was to take chairs down to the pole barn as it fills up on a first come first served basis. We have seats about 2/3rds back, not too bad considering.
We had a pleasant evening unpacking rusty instruments and rusty voices and picking a few tunes, with a lot of talk. Later a guy from Kentucky came over and gave us a masterclass comparing and contrasting the playing styles of Merle haggard, Chet Atkins and Doc Watson. Very interesting.
