WOW!! -- WHAT A GREAT SHOW!!
WAS THE BEST ONE YET!! 

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED, ATTENDED, AND PLAYED.


FERNSTOCK VI
SAT., NOV. 15, 2008
GATES OPEN AT NOON.
YOUR $10 DONATION HELPS KEEP FERNSTOCK GOING!
Hey Kids in the third week of November 2008 there will be a full moon in the eastern sky in honor of the one of the coolest music festivals in south Florida.

A tongue-in-cheek piece about Fernstock (above) -- especially about the '200,000 expected'.  A more reasonably sized crowd will attend...

Fernstock V got excellent reviews and press.
See Raf's blog for example.

Fernstock V also saw the deployment of an actual Hammond B-3 organ.  Whew!
