Lunchtime Serenade

ellyssianSeven Nations performed at lunch today - I'm not sure if I've seen them before, which probably doesn't bode well for them.
They were good - bass, drums, guitar, fiddle, and bagpipes - they just weren't exceptional, although that might have been due to having such an early performance. Apparently, they had just rolled out of bed, and the 5:00pm show today is supposed to be better, according to them.
If I still had to walk through the fest grounds to get home, I would stop by and check them out again. With a 45 minute+ commute, though, I usually want to head home as soon as I get out of here.
Walking around the fest - and stopping here and there to listen to varied performers in almost every different musical genre (celtic & polka always seem the most dominant, however) - was probably my favorite activity whilst living in Bethlehem. Locals always complain of the crowds; I love it - reminds me of Harvard Square on a busy day, except without as many book stores, record stores, and etcetera.
