Welcome to my first podcast about my favorite America festival which takes place in Florida every October. In the coming months we will have a lot of music and news from the festival itself and the artists who will be appearing there in 2008. Today we have a selection of music from people like Darrell Scott, Vassar Clements, David Grisman and many more. Anyone who is continuing to subscribe from the Irish podcasts will enjoy some great new music.
