I love the "Spirit" cover tune!
Old Hippie here!....Almost Cut My Hair,...is my personal anthem. I've had long hair past my shoulders since I was in high school, in 1970. Most of the years, when I was employed, I kept it pulled back into a ponytail. Around 1982,....I cut it, and wore it shorter, for a couple years. I began to grow it back in 1985, and since then, its been worn, long. So, Cool.
I began attending COMFEST in 1977. The festival came into being in 1972. I didn't arrive in Columbus until 1977. I came to OSU, to earn my graduate degree, a MFA in Fine Art. It wasn't until 1986 that I began collaborating with my friends, all local artists, to operate an Arts booth. This was after Comfest relocated into The Short North, on Park Street, but before it was allowed to set up, within Goodale Park. We continued that tradition until 1999. We sold hand made craft items, collectibles, including one-of-a-kind furniture and lighting. We were the first booth to have an interactive art making machine, a SPIN ART (machine). An electric powered turntable, where people could make their own, one of a kind, abstract art "spattered" paint designs, on light weight poster board. In those early years, booth operators, didn't have access to those portable, E-Z Up,....(Umbrella tents). So each season we would construct one from narrow strips of wood that could be bolted together on site. It took weeks of planning to design them. In those early years, all sorts of variations, of booths, were created. Some were made from plumbing PVC plastic pipes, others were a type of (ancient) building, like (Native American ) Teepees, and Yurts. Some people brought in heavy boards and nailed them together into unique, one time use, buildings. Eventually those light weight, easy to erect, (umbrella) booth tents became cheap enough and readily available at Lowes & Home Depot, and then, all vendor booths, became more uniform looking.
Overall, the band sounds good. Thanks for posting this.
