A Southern Missive

Today is the third and final day of the Sam Houston Folk Festival. I was able to visit the Sam Houston Museum here, and was amazed at the life of this man. I know there’s stories there. Am in a rush. I must go to the festival grounds to meet Jed Marum and help him pack up, as it looks like the rain and storms are going to end the festival early. Anyway, here’s a photo of me and a couple of the Southern Belles at the festival who helped me demonstrate the “Language of the Fan” that I mentioned on an earlier post as well as photo of the cannon at the festival, a reproduction of one of the two cannons that Sam Houston had with his army at the battle of San Jacinto. I’ve got pages of notes and thoughts on the festival. I’ll likely make another post tonight.

I’ve been so remiss in posting for my blog. I’m in Huntsville, TX this weekend. The festival’s attendance of school kids suffered terribly from the media and political hype surrounding the swine flu.  Here are some photos of the event that I thought you’d like to see. Here is me with Calamity Jane, followed by some Southern belles, followed by the Punch & Judy Show!  I go from here to Brownsboro, TX ISD for some programs there. Back to Monroe late Tuesday night.
